INTEGRATION OF REVIT INTO FIRE DYNAMICS SIMULATOR

We use the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) and Smoke View, 3D modeling tools, published by NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) in our work as a forensics organisation. We currently import AutoCAD data into FDS using DXF files. We're currently using Revit in some of our applications and would like to be able import DWF files directly into FDS. Does anyone have specific knowledge of 1) is this possible and 2) if so, how?

Thanks,

Oh, am in the same case.... did you solve the integration of DWF files into FDS? Thanks!

Project Scorch is now available for this very purpose. It's a free Autodesk technology preview that allows you to bring your CAD geometry in and run the FDS solver in a unified pre and post processing environment.

 

You can find Project Scorch here: https://beta.autodesk.com/callout/?callid=918F56ECC9684EC284991E1E1EBDA49F - we'd love to hear your feedback on this (there are feedback forums on the Project Scorch page).

 

Thanks,

Hi, thanks for the response, Sorry if I dint get it, but, the question is can we import RVT (Revit Architectural model) into the NIST FDS model to get the smoke view and smoke exhaust results? if not .RVT directly to FDS, is there any add-on software to convert .RVT to other format which FDS supports? I dont want to link CAD geometry as my CAD is in only 2-D, not 3-D. just thinking, can we convert Revit 3-D to CAD 3-D and consider that CAD 3-D to FDS?
