Fenix+ 3 — Evacuation and Fire Dynamics Simulation Software
We're excited to introduce you to Fenix+ 3! This overview will highlight some of the key features and functionalities of the application.
Welcome
When you start the application, you are greeted by a Welcome page tab. Here, we'd like to highlight the extensive collection of demo projects included with Fenix+ 3 Classic. Many of these projects are contributions from our users, showcasing the level of detail achievable in modeling buildings. Access to a variety of documents and user guides is readily available. However, due to their large size, simulation results are not part of the initial package. We're considering adding an option to download simulation results separately in the future.
Scenarios
The Scenario list has been conveniently positioned in the upper left corner of the application, occupying less space. This feature enables you to monitor calculation statuses, switch between scenarios, pause calculations, and access various functions through the context menu.
Search
Building on updates to the Scene editor, we've relocated the search field to just below the scene editor, ensuring it's always easily accessible. This search functionality enables you to find objects by specific type or exact name.
Simulation
To accommodate projects with numerous scenarios, we've introduced dedicated functionality for simulation management. Now, you can monitor calculation statuses, start or stop them via a separate Simulation tab. This tab is also where you connect to the Fenix Server, granting enhanced control over currently executing tasks.
For projects with fewer scenarios, or if you prefer not to switch between tabs frequently, a feature for swiftly launching an active scenario directly from the main application window is also available.

Evacuation simulation
The newly introduced profiles editor enables the creation of people profiles, allowing for customized dependencies between people's movement speed and people flow density. Waypoints facilitate the designation of specific paths for the movement of individuals or groups. Doors can now also serve as waypoints.
Density map
The implementation of a density map feature now provides a visual representation of people flow density, highlighting areas where crowding occurs.
