Operating System: Windows 7 

Describe details of the issue below:

i am doing an evacuation for an offshore facility, the problem which is facing me that
in the command of &EVAC  and the position of agents. Because the simulation is running
without this command perfectly but when I add the line of this command its replying
that FDS WAS IMPROPERLY SET UP. I have read that its related to the number of agents.
I did decrease them even I tried only to put one agent but its gave the same error
unless if I put ZERO then its running..

So when I put ZERO and software run I am facing another problem with the command of
&EXIT which state that XB mid point facing a solid. I have read that its related to
IOR direction but I have tried everything..

I am looking forward to your reply.

here is my code,

Original issue reported on code.google.com by mohd23man on 2014-06-12 12:25:54

Add: &MISC EVACUATION_DRILL=.TRUE. / Now you see just the evacuation geomettry (no fire geometry). Use the menu Show/hide in Smokeview and there Geometry => SUrfaces => Exterior away. Then you see that your whole geometry is filled with OBSTs. So no space for any agent and any EXITs. So, change the MESH z-level, for example: &MESH IJK=87,50,1,XB=0.0,61.0,0.0,45.0,5.2,6.8, EVAC_Z_OFFSET=1.0, EVACUATION=.TRUE., EVAC_HUMANS=.TRUE., ID='1stfloorgrid'/ &MESH IJK=87,50,1,XB=0.0,61.0,0.0,45,5.2,6.8, EVACUATION=.TRUE., ID='GroundExit1'/ And change the XBs of the EXIT and EVAC lines also so that their z-coordinates belong to the evacuation meshes.

I could solve the latest arised issue .. thanks for your constant help but I have found another error telling that EXIT exit1 problem with IMESH, no mesh found. any suggestion? thanks .

The second mesh should not have EVAC_HUMANS=.TRUE. Change it to EVAC_HUMANS=.FALSE. (or delete it, false is the default). The second mesh is not containing any agents, because it is just used to calculate the guiding flow fields towards groundexit1. (You need these "additional door flow evacuation meshes" when you have more than one door and/or exit in a main evacuation mesh (usually representing one floor of the building). The main evacuation mesh has flow fields towards all doors/exits and if you want the agents to go to a specific exit (or use door selection algorithm), then you should define additional door flow evacuation meshes (with EVAC_HUMANS=.FALSE.) for each of these doors. And add also "outflow" VENTs for these doors at the corresponding additional door flow meshes. The main evacuation mesh should have "outflow" VENTs at all door and/or exit locations always. The exit and evac errors: &EXIT ID='exit1', FYI='staircase', XB=5.1,7.0,4.5,4.5,5.0,8.0, Above you have exit1 z=5.0m - 8.0m, and you mesh has 5.4m - 9.0m. So, the exit XB does not fit to that mesh. => change the EXIT z- coordinates such that they are within the mesh z-range. And same thing for the EVAC XB. TimoK

Thanks you very much Timok, I have really benefit from your notes and I feel like I have really enhanced my skills of FDS more. I have submitted another issue 2184 ,, regarding doors exit that agents go through it and suppose to appear in another door but they did not .. thanks
