Guide

When do you need CFD smoke modelling?

The situations where fire and smoke modelling pays for itself — and what you need to provide to start.

Typical situations

  • Atriums and large connected spaces where smoke control must be demonstrated
  • Basement car parks using jet-fan ventilation
  • Buildings seeking a performance-based alternative to a prescriptive rule
  • Existing buildings where upgrades must be justified
  • Fire investigations that need the event reconstructed

What we need from you

  • Architectural drawings and sections (DWG or PDF)
  • Proposed ventilation and smoke control design, if available
  • Building use, occupancy and operating hours
  • Any authority comments that triggered the study

What you get

A modelling report that states the design fire, scenarios and acceptance criteria, shows smoke spread, temperature and visibility over time, and concludes clearly whether the design meets them — written for authority review.
