Digital modelling tools

24 January 2024

Many workflow tasks for Fire Safety Engineering can be carried out in modern BIM-based packages. These data-rich 3D modelling approaches can make engineering design tasks more efficient and easier to communicate to the rest of the design teams, clients, and the public. Learn more about our digital modelling tools.

HOW TO APPLY
Specific workflow tasks which can be carried out

The following tasks are discussed in the video below to help highlight the potential use of digital tools in a modern fire safety engineering workflow.

 

Top Ten Fire Safety Engineering tasks

  1. Travel distance calculations (with the Path of Travel tool)
  2. Showing evacuation plans with directional arrows.
  3. Creating schedules & labels for occupant numbers
  4. Automatically calculating minimum exit widths
  5. Highlighting fire rated walls & doors in different colours
  6. Colour coding spaces
  7. Annotations for emergency services access
  8. 3D visualisations
  9. Tools to design sprinklers
  10. Export model for analysis in other tools

 

Sharing output to communicate strategies:

  • via model sharing, pdf export
  • web-sharing for markup review 

 

More guidance on the usage and development of these tools will be added to this page, as it is delivered and tested.
