Hello everyone!

I'm completely new to FDS and I've been banging my head over the past
2 weeks. Do you know of any introductory training courses offered in
Europe in the near future ? I need something that would start from the
basics!

I did check the forum page for "training courses", but most of the
things I found there are either consultancies, or older courses
offered in past years (or in Mandarin). The only current course I
found is one offered by the SFPE in the USA.

Thank you for your help!

That would be cool, hey lets make a FDS training blog. Id like a more
visual and audio way of learning.

Is it still summer in america? I thought all the kids were supposed to
be back in school by now. Sitting at work is getting really awkward,
unless there having some field trip but I can't find the bus.

Emanuele Gissi has written a book "An Introduction to Fire Simulation with FDS and Smokeview" which has been updated to FDS 5.5.1. It is released under a Creative Commons license and can be found here

https://sites.google.com/a/corbezzolo.org/pages/Home/download_FSE/

I have not reviewed the book, but I imagine it may be a bit helpful until you can find a course.

Hi,
my organisation offers FDS introductory training courses all around
Europe.
We can send our trainers where you prefer better.

But this discussion group is not the right place to describe that in
detail.
Feel free to contact me if you want more info: http://emanuelegissi.eu

Hi,

At Seneca College, I offer a distance education course on FDS called a
"Supervised Project". It takes you through the steps in building a model
with a variety of small discrete exercises. At the same time you build
of model of your own choice. You can start anytime you want and take as
long as you want.

If anybody wants any further information, then please contact me directly.

Thanks
