CFAST Components

CFAST models are composed of various components that represent different aspects of the fire scenario being modeled. These components include:

CeilingFloorVent	Represents vertical flow vent connections between compartments.
Compartment	Defines the size, position, materials of construction, and flow characteristics for compartments.
Device	Represents measurement and fire protection devices in a CFAST simulation.
Fire	Represents a fire source in a CFAST simulation.
FireDefinition	A reusable CFAST fire definition for the chemistry (&CHEM) and table (&TABL) sections.
Material	Defines thermophysical properties of materials used for compartment surfaces or targets.
MechanicalVent	Represents a mechanical ventilation system in a CFAST simulation.
SimulationEnvironment	Defines the initial conditions and simulation time for the CFAST input file.
SurfaceConnection	Represents surface connections for heat transfer between compartments in CFAST.
Visualization	Represents a Smokeview visualization output in CFAST.
WallVent	Represents wall openings connecting two compartments that physically overlap in elevation.
