There has been already some discussion about the new and easier user inputs etc. for FDS+Evac.
I just copied some lines from a previous post below. The 6.7.6 and 6.7.7 versions will do the
fire+evacuation calculation in three steps: search EVACUATION_ALL_STEPS in this
forum.
Now the .smv files can show agents and fire data easily: CHID_evac.smv shows just the
evacuation initialization phase ("fire drill"), CHID.smv shows just the results of the fire calculation,
and CHID_evmc.smv shows the result of fire+evacuation calculation.
Well,
it might be that the readme file is for FDS 6.7.5, and 6.7.6 has a more
user friendly way of doing things (search EVACUATION_ALL_STEPS in this
forum).
Note, that your evacuation mesh has just 2 grid cells in the x-direction.
If you are using FDS 6.7.6:
EVACUATION_INITIALIZATION=.TRUE. phase: run just with one process (only evacuation meshes in the calculation)
EVACUATION_WRITE_FED=.TRUE. phase: run as a fire calculation without any evacuation (in your case 5 processes)
EVACUATION_MC_MODE=.TRUE. phase: run just with one process (only evacuation meshes in the calculation)
If you are using FDS6.7.5 (or older)
EVACUATION_DRILL=.FALSE., EVACUATION_MC_MODE=.FALSE. : number of processes = number of fire processes + 1
And with EVACUATION_DRILL=.TRUE. and/or EVACUATION_MC_MODE=.TRUE. number of processes = 1.
