Overview

The selection is generated by first running a fully coupled FDS simulation with a time step of $\Delta t=0.001$ for $200,\mathrm{s}$, where all available fields are saved each second, such that one gets a collection of fields each second and $200$ collections overall. One such collection of fields, saved at one distinct time is called a snapshot. Because band resolved radiation calculation (with line by line (LBL) photon Monte Carlo (PMC)) is an expensive task, a more or less random selection of $40$ snapshots is taken from the original $200$ ones. The selection is considered to be representative with respect to mean value and extreme events. The selection process is summarized in the following graph:

The procedure that is documented in this git is shown in the diagram below.
