CYPEFIRE
CYPEFIRE Design
CYPEFIRE Design is an application created to help the designer during the process of designing and verifying the characteristics of the building and of the fire protection installations. The workspace allows to create and quickly edit the main characteristics of a fire protection project (compartmentation of zones, limitation of external propagation, means of evacuation of occupants, protection facilities, access for firefighters, etc.).
The evacuation of occupants, the compartmentalization of the sectors and the accessibility of firefighters are some of the many checks that are carried out in the application. It also serves as a starting point for the workflow, since from here requirements for the structure’s fire resistance, sprinkler installation, etc. are included.
Field of the application
CYPEFIRE Design allows fire protection installations to be designed and analysed for both codes and generic purposes, as the definition of the installations’ elements can be configured by users. The program includes the option of importing the features of predefined codes:
Hydraulic fire extinguishing systems
CYPEFIRE Hydraulic Systems is a tool created to design hydraulic networks for fire protection using sprinklers and fire hose reels in accordance with the NFPA®13 (National Fire Protection Association) standard.
Scope of the application
CYPEFIRE Hydraulic Systems allows the sizing and design of hydraulic fire extinguishing networks using sprinklers and fire hose reels (FHR) in accordance with different predefined codes, as well as designing installations by creating customised configurations for calculating other codes or for personal technical purposes.
The information provided to the BIM model on sprinkler arrangement will be of great help when we decide to perform the dynamic fire simulation.
Differential pressure systems
CYPEFIRE Pressure Systems designs pressure differential systems to retain smoke in non-airtight physical barriers, in accordance with the EN 12101-6 code. which establishes the requirements of a staircase pressurisation system.
Fire evolution simulations
CYPEFIRE FDS is an application for the design of complex building models, to carry out simulations of fire evolution using the Fire Dynamics Simulator developed by the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology, USA)
Dynamic fire simulation is one of the most complex parts when designing a fire prevention project.
CYPEFIRE FDS is a multifunctional tool that can be very useful both for firefighter training and for the technicians responsible for the design of the extinguishing systems, temperature control and smoke evacuation systems, either for evaluating the fire safety of buildings during the project stage as well as for the reconstruction of fire scenarios.
Viewing simulations
CYPEFIRE FDS Viewer is a free application for viewing simulations of fire evolution carried out using the Fire Dynamics Simulator developed by the NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology, USA).
In addition to the workflow, we have CYPEFIRE FDS Viewer so that all project participants can view the results.
