User Documentation for OpenSees Fire

The following documents are specially developed for OpenSees for fire.

Getting Started with OpenSees for Fire

This documentation provides a basic understanding on how to evaluate the structural response in fire using OpenSeesThermal. Relevent Tcl Commands are illustrated by several examples.

Command Manual for OpenSees for fire

This manual provides a list of all new commands along with its attributes.


OpenSees for fire Examples

Examples are presented to demonstrate the thermomechanical analyses using the thermal version of OpenSees Framework. These are in addition to the simple example discussed in Getting Started with OpenSees Thermal.


Projects of OpenSees for Fire

Heat Transfer in OpenSees

OpenSees now has been extended to heat transfer analysis, which is based on a simple mesh tool with particular emphasis on heat transfer to structural members from fire.

SIFBuilder Project

SIFBuilder is developed as an computational tool to perfomr integrated analysis of structures in fire

OpenFire Project

OpenFire is developed as a middleware tool for heat transfer module and thermo-mechanical analysis module to commnunicate with CFD fire models/idelaised fire models
