Real-Time Animation of HRR Graph using FuncAnimation in Matplotlib

1.1. Real-Time Animation of Graphs Real-time graphs are helpful when you need to visualise values from sensors or databases in real-time. This serves an important function in many critical industries where continuous monitoring of data is required, e.g. monitoring ground movement, emission control in tunnel environment, stock market etc. This article goes through the Python […]

Generating Graphs Using Device Data from FDS

Introduction This week’s article will look at python scripts to generate graphs to measure the total exhaust rate provided in a compartment and gas temperature measured at discrete locations in FDS models. For this task, I have created two models in FDS: Model 1: Containing only volume flow devices Model 2: Containing volume flow and […]

Generating Heat Release Rate Graph Using Python Script

Introduction One of the simple mistakes I have made in fire modelling is specifying the wrong Heat Release Rate (HRR). This mistake is often realised when results are post-processed at the end of the simulation resulting in wasted days and weeks of simulation. Although this mistake can be avoided easily by verifying the input parameters […]
