The leading industry graphical user interface for Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS), PYROSIM, is recognized for its quick, reliable and precise simulation of complex fire models. It enables design teams to create complicated and cost-efficient designs in the preliminary stage without compromising desired level of fire safety. The objective of this Workshop is for engineers to gain an understanding of fire dynamics and fire modeling. The guided hands-on workshop will help you to familiarize with the graphical interface and work towards customizing and prescribing your own fire scenarios.

Mr. Bryan Klein is currently the Product Manager for PyroSim and Pathfinder at Thunderhead
Engineering Consultants, Inc. He handles sales and support issues, along with training both
online and on-site.
Mr Klein formerly worked as part of the Fire Fighting Technology Group in the Engineering
Laboratory at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), where he provided
assistance in many areas of research and development. One of the primary duties of the Fire
Modeling Group was to establish modern best practices for FDS and Smokeview (SMV) code
development, distribution, archiving and bug reporting. As the FDS and Smokeview Community
Manager, he assembled a cohesive collaboration and communication platform to improve
developer and support communication between the core development team and users of the
FDS-SMV software package. In addition, as a part of the simulation and reconstruction of actual
fire incidents process, he specialized in acquiring and generating geometry, materials and
ignition properties, creating input for fire models and conducting parametric studies of ignition
location, ventilation and material flammability for specific scenarios.
