F.I.R.E. (FDS Interactive Resource Environment) — Multi-Agent FDS Helper

As part of our commitment to advancing structural fire engineering, RIO on Fire provides F.I.R.E. (FDS Interactive Resource Environment) — an exclusive, locally-hosted AI assistant. Operating from a secure Ubuntu server, F.I.R.E. (FDS Interactive Resource Environment) utilizes a highly specialized 4-phase "assembly line" architecture to diagnose, debug, and synthesize complex Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) thermodynamics.

Architecture

The F.I.R.E. (FDS Interactive Resource Environment) Assembly Line

F.I.R.E. (FDS Interactive Resource Environment) does not rely on a single, generalized AI prompt. It acts as an autonomous digital firm, dividing complex engineering queries into four distinct phases.

Phase 0 — The Front Desk

Agent: The Query Rewriter

Acting as the firm's receptionist, this agent utilizes your active chat history to clarify and rewrite vague user prompts into specific, highly searchable queries before any database retrieval occurs.

Phase 1 — The Translator

Agent: The Context Enricher

Optimizes the search query by translating conversational human terms (e.g., "fire" or "droplets") into FDS-specific technical vocabulary (e.g., "SURF" or "PART") to ensure precise extraction from the ChromaDB.

Phase 2 — The Board of Advisors (Specialized Research)

In this phase, five parallel agents read highly specific FDS documentation to gather precise, domain-specific intelligence:

Specialized Agent	Source Material	Core Task
The Archivist	FDS User Guide	Hunts for specific parameter definitions and default values, formatting extracted data into strict Markdown tables.
The Operations Analyst	FDS User Guide	Focuses purely on finding step-by-step instructions and defining the logic of specific feature applications.
The Physicist	Technical Reference	Translates complex thermodynamic theory and raw equations into readable math concepts.
The Scout	Validation Guide	Hunts for official V&V cases that prove features work, providing concise 1-sentence summaries.
The Debugger	GitHub Issues / Logs	Scans official developer logs for known bugs, runtime crashes, and current workarounds.

Phase 3a — The Synthesizers

1. The Executive Engineer

Reads the notes generated by the Board of Advisors to write a blunt, professional, high-level technical summary that provides an immediate bottom-line answer.

Phase 3b — The Synthesizers

2. The Educator

Stitches the specialized research into a comprehensive educational report, cleanly integrating tables, equations, and warnings into a standardized document.

⚠️ Engineering Disclaimer: F.I.R.E. (FDS Interactive Resource Environment) is an advanced diagnostic aide designed to accelerate the simulation workflow. All final input parameters and design safety thresholds must be independently verified by a licensed structural fire engineer prior to deployment.
