PyroSim x64 Edition Now Available!
Users with 64-bit operating systems can now download an entirely 64-bit version of PyroSim and FDS. This version is able to access memory beyond the 2 GB limit imposed by 32-bit Windows. This version will be particularly useful for individuals who model large structures such as stadiums or want to import complex DXF models. The 64-bit version of PyroSim includes a 64-bit version of FDS, MPI, and parallel FDS.
PyroSim now includes FDS version 5.5.3 and Smokeview version 5.6. For more information, please read the FDS release notes, and the Smokeview release notes.
Major changes since PyroSim 2012.1.0312 (beta) include::
*PyroSim now has several new right-click menu options to split, merge, and refine meshes.
*PyroSim now has a graphical tool to split a single mesh into multiple meshes.
*The FDS Simulation dialog is now modeless, allowing the user to stop or cancel a simulation before exiting PyroSim in the event of a crash.
*Gravity can now be specified as a function of time or the x-coordinate.
*Greatly improved PyroSim’s performance when snapping the cursor to geometric objects.
*Added support for particle activation (CTRL_ID and DEVC_ID).
*HVAC name list support can be enabled by installing FDS6 executables and running PyroSim with the flag: -J-DHVAC
*Objects in FDS input files specifying their color as “INVISIBLE” will no longer be imported as opaque.
*Updated the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) shipped with PyroSim to version 1.6.0_31. This fixes a bug that prevented PyroSim from opening files located on MicroSoft Distributed File Systems (MS-DFS).
