Mehdi Taebnia,

It sounds like you are analyzing a smoke management problem. TRNSYS is not the tool for this. You need a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tool, of which there are many options.

TRNSYS is capable of coupling with COMIS or CONTAM to study problems that involve both building energy transfers and fluid dynamics (such as natural ventilation and passive cooling). But no one is concerned with energy when something is on fire...

Hello Everybody,

I am going to use TRNSYS to model a fire inside a building. I am using Heptane as fuel to replace the burning materials, furniture and households. The whole process may take maximum few minutes. Has any of you have similar experience with TRNSYS or any idea how to model it in TRNSYS. I appreciate any information that might help.

Best regards

Mehdi Taebnia
