Fire-resist

Multi-field simulation framework for composite structures in fire

The objective of FIRE-RESIST WP5 was to develop and validate a novel multi-field simulation framework that could be used for virtual fire testing, i.e. for the response of polymer matrix composite materials and structures to fire. A description of the main results in each of the five tasks of WP5 is given below.

Task 5.1 – Simulation chain development
The approach that was drafted in the project’s description of work, and later detailed in milestone MS6, is based on coupling existing open-source and commercial simulation software. These include:

•
