First of all, I want to thank you for making this helpful video, it clarifies many things for me. Though, I still have problem when I try to put a circle as a burn instead of the plane. I get an error WARNING: Two VENTs overlap in MESH 1, Cell 50 50 101 . VENT 2 rejected for that cell., so when I run it, it finishes its 5 s but nothing happen as a reaction. Is there any way to correct this? Thanks in advance !

Hi Salah, Thanks for your feedback. As far as you are using BlenderFDS to perform your case,  see the BlenderFDS pool fire video and follow the steps to get your "circle" VENT: 1) In the tutorial we inserted a plane. You should insert a cylinder object and define z direction as zero (the cylinder will be a "CIRCLE" - if you insert circle directly maybe it does not work). 2) Define the created "CIRCLE" as VENT and use XB as PIXELS instead of FACES (here is the point for you). 3) Choose your resolution ( maybe 0.01) 4) Set your SURF and export your fds file. Then you should get your "circle" pool fire.

Many thanks for the explanation, it was very helpful, and yes indeed it worked.

Can the generated fire data be exported to a development platform like Unreal or Unity?

Hi Sooraj, are you still interested in the problem or did you even solve it in the mean time? I do not have the answer, but thought about investigating into this, too, but then did not follow up on it yet. I am working on fire fighting training tools in unity and still exploring how to best approximate fire dynamic in real time. In case you are interested in exchange, please drop me a message. Best wishes, Marie
