FDS (Fire Dynamic Simulation)
FDS (Fire Dynamics Simulator) is a computational fluid
dynamics (CFD) model of fire-driven fluid flow. The
software solves numerically a LES form of the Navier-
Stokes equations appropriate for low-speed, thermally-
driven flow, with an emphasis on smoke and heat
transport from fires.
Smokeview
is the companion visualization program that
can be used to display the output of FDS

AutoCAD Architecture
AutoCAD Architecture AutoCAD
Architecture (abbreviated as ACA) is a
version of Autodesk's flagship product,
AutoCAD, with tools and functions
specially suited to architectural work.
Architectural objects have a relationship
to one another and interact with each
other intelligently. For example, a
window has a relationship to the wall
that contains it. If you move or delete the
wall, the window reacts accordingly.
Objects can be represented in both 2D
and 3D.
