Abstract:
1. A method for generating real-time smoke and fire propagation models, said method comprising: creating a particle system based on an input script and data obtained from a state variable manager and a compartment manager; creating and updating particle data based on a predefined particle script and smoke behavior data, wherein said particle data is utilized in generating a three-dimensional animated smoke propagation model and said predefined particle script comprises configuration data for assigning parameters of said particle system; obtaining smoke propagation data from a smoke propagation prediction unit, said smoke propagation data comprising propagation sequence information and smoke behavior data associated with each of a plurality of compartments over a predefined time interval; parsing said smoke propagation data utilizing said compartment manager and providing parsed data to said particle system; providing said smoke propagation data and two-dimensional geometry data for each of said plurality of compartments to said compartment manager to depict and update a three-dimensional outline of said plurality of compartments; and generating said three-dimensional animated smoke propagation model utilizing a rendering module.
