Historically, CFD is complex to use, resulting in lower adoption on projects and compromises on safety.
The introduction of CFD to Phast reduces the barriers to entry. Scenarios are easy to setup, requiring no prior knowledge of CFD, and results are easy to interpret.
Phast CFD extensions will provide users with the confidence to solve complex problems in a more intuitive and practical manner.
Two CFD extensions are available: Phast CFD pool fire and Phast CFD jet fire, with other CFD extensions under development.
These extensions allow you to see the impact of three-dimensional surroundings (e.g. firewalls and obstructions), as well as wind direction and speed, which is useful especially when designing and proposing mitigation measures. The extensions provide results in the form of flame shapes, and temperature and radiation isosurfaces and isocontours in a rich, three-dimensional viewer.
This extension supports detailed modelling of circular and rectangular-shaped pool fires, assuming immediate ignition of a pool fixed in size.
Our customers use this for tank and bund design, escalation potential, emergency response preparedness and much more.
This extension supports detailed modelling of standalone jet fire scenarios based on jet source terms which can be calculated from pressure, temperature and hole size.
Our customers use this for designing fire walls, determining radiation from a flare, layout design and much more.
Plans are available for local installation on your PC or pre-installed virtual machine. Access is available from 1 day to 1 year for one single user. These extensions require an active version of Phast 8.6 or newer.
Recommended when there is need for multiple users at the same time.
Access for multiple simultaneous users where the product license is installed on a network server and software installation on the individual user's machine. These extensions require an active version of Phast 8.6 or newer.
You can create custom 3D objects (cuboid, cylinders) directly in Phast. Alternatively, there are third party solutions for creating your own 3D models.
Yes, they are as they are separate and independent extensions. You can purchase / lease one or both.
