ℹ️ Updated to qgis2fds 2.0.x

qgis2fds is an open-source QGIS Processing plugin that exports georeferenced terrain and wildfire inputs to a working NIST Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) case for wildfire simulation and atmospheric dispersion of fire pollutants, and imports selected FDS results as temporal QGIS mesh layers.

The exporter builds an aligned metric terrain grid from a DEM and an extent layer. It can also classify landuse and ignition polygons, apply a global wind schedule, append user-supplied FDS text, and export terrain as the preferred binary GEOM representation or as explicit OBST namelists. After FDS runs, the importer georeferences AGL slices and wildfire boundary results and adds each dataset as a separate temporal mesh layer.
