qgis2fds plugin repository

The open source plugin to export terrains and landuse from the QGIS geographic information system to the NIST Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) for wildfire simulation and atmospheric dispersion of fire pollutants.


The development of qgis2fds has been funded by a grant from the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation.

By the research project WUIFI-21 (High fidelity computational fluid dynamics modeling of forest fires for Wildland-Urban Interface communities resilience and protection) the participating organizations intend to extend the capabilities of FDS on the prediction of wildland-urban interface fires propagation.
