- Free download of various software and documents related to fire:
ELEFIR, calculates the fire resistance of simple steel elements made of I sections loaded around the strong axis according to
ENV 1993-1-2
OZone V2, calculates the evolution of the gas temperature in a compartment under fire and evaluates the fire resistance of
simple steel elements submitted to these compartment fires. It is based on a 1 or 2 zones description of the situation, with an automatic transition from 2 to 1 zone situation under certain circumstances.
SAFIR is a finite element model for the behaviour of structures in fire. This software calculates the evolution of the temperatures in a structure submitted to the fire and the evolution of the equilibrium conditions (stresses, strains, displacements, moments, etc) of the heated structure until failure. Large displacements and non linear material properties are taken into account in a 2D
or 3D structure. Some example files, as well as the graphic preprocessor and postprocessor and additional information are available for download to the general public. The full version of the calculation software is not available to the general public.
A free demonstration version can be ordered for evaluation, demonstration, research or education purposes.
