Abstract

The review of modern software systems that allow producing modeling and calculation of fire resistance of building structures, as well as simulating fire protection, is given. Particular attention is paid to the software Sofistik, which allows you to synchronize with Autodesk Revit and calculate the fire protection of building structures for various temperature regimes.

Highlights

Due to the increase in the number of fires and other emergencies that may be the cause of the fire or are their consequence, the actual task is to improve the methods for calculating the fire resistance of structures, including taking into account fire protection.One of the most pressing issues is the provision of fire resistance and fire protection of iron-concrete structures [1,2,3,4,5]
Software complexes are widely used in civil engineering, in which there are modules for calculating fire resistance, for example, Sofistik (Germany), ABAQUS (USA), Normcad (Russia), Ansys (USA) and Robot structure (USA), Elcut (Russia), etc., which allow to calculate the distribution of temperature fields in a structure in time, without loading and with its account under conditions of a special fire load
The calculations obtained in different software complexes have the same technical result, but the reports on the solved problem are designed in a unique way for each developer: in some cases, the user is provided with a ready-made document, issued according to standards for examination, and in a similar software package from another manufacturer, the output of the results can look quite different

Summary

Introduction

Due to the increase in the number of fires and other emergencies that may be the cause of the fire or are their consequence, the actual task is to improve the methods for calculating the fire resistance of structures, including taking into account fire protection. One of the most pressing issues is the provision of fire resistance and fire protection of iron-concrete structures [1,2,3,4,5]. In the European countries there is a technical code Eurocode-4 and institutions involved in the design of structures, publish a number of recommendations on the calculation [7,8]. For the calculation of metal and wood structures in Europe, the corresponding Eurocodes are used, in Russia, manufacturers develop their own software. The most important, apart from the accuracy of the calculation, are the flexibility and intuition of the interface, the ability to export the finished model from Autodesk Revit, the function of forming a custom cross-section, the presence of various fire regimes, an automatic report on technical and visual characteristics, etc.*
