Software packages for calculation of fire resistance of building construction, including fire protection

[摘要] In the article a review of modern software systems allowing calculating the distribution of temperature fields in a structure in time, without loading and with it (the fire resistance limit of structures) under conditions of a special fire load has been given. The algorithm of the finite element method is used for the calculations, on which each of the considered complexes is based. Specifically: Sofistik, ABAQUS, Normcad, ANSYS, Robot structure. Comparative analysis has been made from the point of view of intuitive user interface, the possibilities of modeling various conditions and fire regimes, tools for communication with other software complexes and the format of output of results. The results demonstrating the capabilities of the post-processor Sofistik have been presented.
