Where to find Fire Engineering Related Software
On this website a survey of fire modeling software is given, based on information gathered in 1992 and 2000. The models are grouped in Zone - Field - Detector Response - Egress - Fire Endurance - Miscellaneous -models. FRAME is mentioned under "Miscellaneous". The information comes mainly from the authors. There is no appreciation given about the availability, usefulness, or recent upgrading of the software.
The following short guide gives an indication of those models than are still available , based on information given through the internet.
Links for Available software
FireWind : This is a commercial Windows Software package by V. Shestopal for a number of basic fire engineering calculations, at a very reasonable price. (about 200 Euro). It comes with a User's Manual in pdf-format and contains 8 calculation methods related to smoke control, an egress time calculation model called Way-out, a radiation model, a sprinkler response time, and 6 other calculation methods related to fire spread and fire endurance. The design fires can be modeled and it works both with metric and american units
Ozone: Fire Modelling Software by the Université de LIEGE, Service Ponts et Charpentes, one- and two-zone fire model , downwloadable for free. Ozone allows the modeling of a single compartment fire, and supports the "natural fire safety concept" developed by the European Steel Industry. It includes a one-zone and two-zone model calculation with transition criteria. The design fire can also be defined by the user. It allows for composite walls, natural and artificial ventilation and has also a module for the calculation of the fire endurance of steel construction elements based on Eurocode formulas.
