From the developer:
Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) is a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of fire-driven fluid flow. The software solves numerically a form of the Navier-Stokes equations appropriate for low-speed, thermally-driven flow, with an emphasis on smoke and heat transport from fires. Smokeview (SMV) is a visualization program that is used to display the output of FDS and CFAST simulations.
You may want to check out more software, such as NIST 08 MS Search and AMDIS software only, NIST MS Search Program or Phoenix FD for 3ds Max 2010 for x86, which might be related to NIST FDS and Smokeview.
