Welcome

This website provides immediate access to a range of fire engineering tools which can be used by the fire safety community to improve our built environment.  The software is designed for use by Fire Engineers, but may also be used by approval organisations, Fire Brigades, insurers and regulators.

The software has been developed to provide flexible assessments of whole buildings or a review of a particular solution in one aspect of a fire engineered design. 

The software includes smoke modelling, egress, tenability, thermal radiation analysis and risk assessment.

There are few limits to the complexity of the building to which this software can be applied, however for detailed calculation of hazards for fire scenarios beyond the scope of zone model assessment and simplified egress analysis, supporting models should be used such as CFD or discrete evacuation models. 

Installation

All the programs use a number of Microsoft components.  These must be installed as follows:

1. .net Framework Version 2:  Note - Most computers have Version 2 or higher, so you may not need this installation.
2. DirectX:  Note - This is the 3D graphic component for all the packages.  The software is complied for DirectX Version 9. Although you may have a higher version of DirectX on your PC you must still install Version 9 (via Link).
3. Web Components 2003:  Note - This is required to view graphs and is a required component.

• Notes: To use the software you may need to turn off your User Account Control (UAC).  This applies to both Vista and Windows 7. 

The software must be able to read and write to the local application directory.

All packages are compatible with 32bit and 64bit windows systems.  However, the applications are compiled in 32bits only.

Should the installation fail please email: support@fire-engineering-software.com

News:

• A new version of TRA is available.  Complex walls can now be generated by sketching above an imported image, or plan of a building or site layout. 

• TTAM, the tenability model used within BuildingQRA is now available.
• Updated versions of TRA, TSEA and TSAM are now provided — minor improvements included.
