B-RISK Version History

Getting smokeview working again using smokeview 6.8.1. In order to load/view zone model results there should be no space in the full pathname to the basemodel file.

This update is a repair for an error carried over from some of the code alterations that were in progress during the compiling into a new program.

Features:

• a design fire generator and item-to-item fire spread module allowing building contents to be randomly placed within a room and the overall rate of heat release to be determined
• a comprehensive sprinkler response module including operation of multiple heads and parameters for effectiveness and reliability of sprinkler systems
• Assignment of hold-open devices to doors and open/close vents using a range of trigger criteria
• Vent flows and smoke migration
• reliability of other systems such as smoke detectors, mechanical systems and passive elements such as doors
• C/VM2 user mode - useful for fire analysis required to be in compliance with the New Zealand Building Code
• visualisation of geometry and results using Smokeview software
• Monte Carlo multi-iteration sampling for probability/risk analysis
• the inclusion of various types of balcony spill plume relationships to facilitate the design of smoke management systems within buildings.
