Fire and Smoke Modeling

Official regulations and safety concerns require efficient ventilation and detection systems:

• Understanding the spread of smoke and heat

• Designing efficient equipment for fire suppression

– Predicting the distribution of suppression agents

– Studying their interactions with the fire and smoke

• Identifying how fires develop

• Determining impact on neighbouring structures

This is not a movie with special effects; this is the result of accurate simulations!

Conclusions

Construction industry face increasing pressures: • Cost, time, safety, comfort, environment

Competition is tough and requires to illustrate a priori the superiority of a project

Virtual Building Design and Construction offers an attractive alternative

• Validate proposed designs against regulations

• Optimize buildings to maximize occupant comfort and minimize operating cost

• Communicate and illustrate benefit to protagonists

ANSYS provides a complete workflow opening the door to changing the way buildings are designed
