    Abstract

    This document describes how to simulate human egress using the evacuation module, FDS+Evac, which is fully embedded in Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS). This manual applies to the FDS+Evac version is 2.1.1, which is embedded in the current FDS version 5.3.0. The most up to date version of this manual can be obtained from the FDS+Evac home page at http://www.vtt.fi/fdsevac/.
