... conditions continuously updated with the fire exposure time for the numerical modelling. During a test, the communication algorithm is the sequence in which the physical and NSs exchange data iteratively. Within a time step, the whole communication procedure could be sketched in Figure 1 . Figure 1...

... rights only Thermal analysis Numerical modeling Concurrent fire and cyclic loading In today’s world, scientific advances have strong potential to improve the safety and reduce risks to improve the quality and save people’s lives. In the event of a fire, this phenomenon can weaken building...

.... The discussed numerical modeling principles can be applied with other similar software. Design/methodology/approach Following a general overview of the organization of the software, the thermal analysis part is explained, with the basic equations and the different possibilities to apply thermal boundary...
