Abstract

The article describes the software development process for analyzing and visualizing the results of calculations of dangerous fire factors that are carried out in the Fire Dynamics Simulator software package. The necessity of such software is also substantiated.

During the simulation of physical processes that occur during a fire in large buildings with complex design solutions, the researcher must place a large number of virtual sensors in a three-dimensional model, the results of which are stored in a separate file. These data are not adapted for human analysis, they have a machine-oriented view, and therefore you need to work with them using specially designed tools. Аanalyzed the existing software that can process the data generated by the software package Fire Dynamics Simulator. The strengths and weaknesses of this software are described. Formulated requirements for their own software.

Studied the current situation in the field of processing and visualization of information. The main information technologies that allow you to quickly and accurately create graphs and charts are identified.

The novelty of this study lies in the fact that there are no analogues of such software in Ukraine.

The main goal that was achieved by the development team is significant time savings on processing the data. Also was significantly increased the level of informativeness of the charts. The values ​​displayed on the graphs allow you to immediately evaluate information without the need for reference books or other tools.
