Summary

Three FDS inputs opened their boundaries in a way that did not do what was meant:

  • slcf_masks.fds and slcf_partial.fds had &VENT MB='XMIN' ... / &VENT MB='XMAX' ... / on one line. FDS reads only the first namelist of a line, so the +x boundary was never open.
  • With several meshes, MB applies the vent to the faces of every mesh, not to the domain (see the FDS User Guide on MB and DB). In wall_005.fds (24 meshes via &MULT) FDS therefore wrote boundary data on the faces between meshes, holding only the ambient temperature.

All three inputs now use DB with one vent per line.

Checks

  • slcf_masks and slcf_partial are rerun with FDS 6.11.1. All tests pass unchanged, including the obstruction mask tests compared with Smokeview: the masks depend on the geometry only.
  • The boundary example (wall_005) is rerun with FDS 6.11.1; its plots are unchanged, and the faces between meshes are gone. The notebook text about these data is updated.
  • The stored FDS 6.8 output in tests/cases/bndf_data is kept as it is.

slcf_masks.fds and slcf_partial.fds had `&VENT MB='XMIN' ... / &VENT
MB='XMAX' ... /` on one line; FDS reads only the first namelist of a line, so
the +x boundary was never open. With several meshes, MB also applies the vent
to the faces of every mesh rather than the domain (FDS User Guide), as in
wall_005.fds with its 24 meshes, where FDS then wrote boundary data on the
faces between meshes. All three now use DB, one vent per line; trailing
whitespace in wall_005.fds is removed.

slcf_masks and slcf_partial are rerun with FDS 6.11.1; the obstruction mask
tests, including the comparisons with Smokeview, pass unchanged, as the masks
depend on the geometry only. The boundary example is rerun as well; its plots
are unchanged, and the notebook no longer mentions the faces between meshes.
The stored FDS 6.8 output in bndf_data is kept as it is.
