PyroSim is a graphical user interface for the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS). FDS models can predict smoke, temperature, carbon monoxide, and other substances during fires. The results of these simulations are used to ensure the safety of buildings before construction, evaluate safety options of existing buildings, reconstruct fires for post-accident investigation, and assist in firefighter training.

The FLIR Atlas SDK is a software development kit that enables developers to create applications. Supported by help files and sample code, developers can add functionality or collaborate with other FLIR products to get the result they want in their application. FLIR has an SDK called Atlas SDK that should always be the main entry point for developing applications interacting with FLIR cameras or managing IR images from FLIR cameras.
