Ventus

The Ventus software is designed to provide an intensive simulation for smoke control analysis.

Simulations are carried out by CONTAM, an open-source software maintained and developed by NIST.

Like PyroSim and FDS, Ventus offers a unique user experience for industry-leading simulation software.

Ventus leverages its expertise in providing 3D fire modeling software to meet the needs of CONTAM users who are looking to accelerate smoke control projects.

 

Appropriate ventilation systems must be designed to control smoke under pressure in emergency conditions such as stairwells, hallways, and basements.

Ventus offers a clear and efficient way to reach the right solution, from building model design to understanding temperature, pressure, and density.

Ventus provides an easy-to-use interface that simplifies the modeling process for various scenarios, including stairs, elevator shafts, lobbies, and basements.

If you are familiar with PyroSim and Pathfinder, understanding how Ventus works is easy.

Ventus, by Thunderhead Engineering, is designed to offer intensive simulations for smoke control analysis.

Like PyroSim and FDS, Ventus provides a unique user experience for users in the simulation industry.

In emergency situations, ventilation systems must be designed to control smoke under pressure in areas like stairwells, hallways, and basements.

Ventus is committed to finding the right solution by providing a clear and efficient path from model construction to understanding temperature, pressure, and density.

If you’re familiar with PyroSim and Pathfinder, understanding how Ventus works will be easy.
