Dear Mr. Korhonen,

I hope this message finds you well. First of all, I would like to express my sincere appreciation for your efforts in developing and maintaining FDS and Smokeview. It has been an invaluable tool for many users like me, and I truly appreciate all the hard work you've put into it. I have also noticed your active and thoughtful responses in the Google discussion group, and I want to thank you for your dedication.

I apologize for reaching out after a few years of no updates, but I am encountering an issue that I haven't been able to resolve despite my thorough research and efforts. I have followed the instructions laid out in the current GitHub repository under InputFiles/Examples/, specifically running the three-phase simulations using Atrium_1.fds, Atrium_2.fds, and Atrium_3.fds. I carefully followed the steps outlined in the readme.txt, including copying the necessary .xyz, .eff, and .fed files between the phases.

However, when I open the resulting .smv files, I cannot get both the building structure and the evacuation animation to display together. Specifically: image

In Atrium_1_evac.smv and Atrium_3_evac.smv, I can only see content related to the evacuation mesh, but the walls and other elements related to the fire model are not visible. In Atrium_2_evac.smv, I can see the complete building, but there is no option to load or display the evacuation agents. I have spent considerable time reviewing the documentation and searching through the Google discussion group, reading all the related posts on this topic, but I haven't found a solution yet. I'm hoping that you could kindly provide some guidance or even a simple suggestion on how to resolve this issue. Any insights would be greatly appreciated.

I deeply respect your time and I apologize for the inconvenience of bringing this to your attention, especially since the project has not been updated for some time. However, given your thoughtful responses in the past, I am hopeful that you might still be able to help in some way.

Thank you once again for your incredible work and for any help you might be able to offer.

Sincerely, Xinyv Hou
