Summary

Hazards can occur in all environments; protection against the risks of fire, smoke and detonation must be understood to ensure safety in design. Fire modelling is an essential tool for mechanical engineers to effectively manage this risk.

Attend to gain a clear understanding of which tools, software and development platforms are the most effective in individual, real world scenarios. Understand the advantages and pitfalls of different approaches and come away from the seminar with a greater practical awareness of fire modelling best practice.
