FDS simulations in the cloud. Fully automated.
The fastest way to run FDS simulations. No server setup, no IT skills required. Our engine automatically optimizes your computing power for maximum performance and minimum cost.
Current load
368 CPU peak
Physical cores, not hyperthreading
Typical cloud providers sell vCPUs — two virtual cores sharing one physical core. Our servers deliver exclusively real physical AMD EPYC cores. Every FDS MPI process gets its own core.
Every FDS MPI process runs on its own physical core — no shared hardware, no fluctuations.
Up to 2,304 MB L3 cache per server. FDS is memory-bandwidth-bound — the large cache keeps data close to the processor and accelerates computation.
Cores, memory, and processor type are selected based on your .fds file to give you the lowest cost at optimal performance.
Real measurement: 86 instead of 231 hours for a fire simulation with 192 meshes — using physical AMD EPYC cores with 3D V-Cache.

How it works
From .fds file to results.
Upload
Upload your existing .fds file. The platform automatically reads the number of meshes and selects the right server size.
See pricing
The platform automatically selects the optimal combination of processor and memory. You see the price instantly — for Standard and Budget. No configuration needed.
Start and monitor
Start the simulation with one click. Track progress and costs live in the dashboard. After completion, download all results — fully compatible with Smokeview.
Compute costs
ESTIMATED PRICES BASED ON REAL BENCHMARKS
Standard
As fast as possible. Full computing power, instant start, shortest runtime. Ideal for time-sensitive projects.
Budget
As affordable as possible. Same hardware, up to 76% cheaper. Ideal for projects without time pressure.
| Standard | Budget | |
|---|---|---|
| Runtime | Guaranteed, uninterrupted | May be interrupted. Auto-restart from checkpoint. |
| Overhead | None | Approx. 10–20% |
| Price | Reference price | Up to 76% cheaper |
| Best for | Time-sensitive projects | Projects without time pressure |

Pricing examples for typical simulations
Pricing is calculated individually based on your .fds file. Our platform automatically selects the optimal hardware — you only pay for the computing power actually needed.
| Simulation | Standard / hour | Budget / hour |
|---|---|---|
Underground garage 110 Meshes | 6,62 EUR | 1,42 EUR |
Assembly hall 170 Meshes | 11,92 EUR | 2,82 EUR |
Large industrial hall 350 Meshes | 39,35 EUR | 9,29 EUR |
All prices in EUR excl. VAT. Per-minute billing. No fixed costs, no setup fees.
Frequently asked questions
Which FDS versions?
FDS 6.7.0 and above. Existing .fds files work without modification.
How is billing handled?
Per-minute billing. No rounded hours. Costs are visible live in the dashboard.
What happens if a budget mode simulation is interrupted?
The simulation automatically resumes from the last checkpoint on a new server.
How do I track progress?
Simulated time shown live in the dashboard. Intermediate results downloadable for Smokeview at any time. Email notification on completion.
How long are results stored?
Until you delete them yourself. No expiration date.
