CFAST Components

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

CeilingFloorVents	Represents vertical flow vent connections between compartments.
Compartments	Defines the size, position, materials of construction, and flow characteristics for compartments.
Devices	Represents measurement and fire protection devices in a CFAST simulation.
Fires	Represents a fire source in a CFAST simulation.
MaterialProperties	Defines thermophysical properties of materials used for compartment surfaces or targets.
MechanicalVents	Represents a mechanical ventilation system in a CFAST simulation.
SimulationEnvironment	Defines the initial conditions and simulation time for the CFAST input file.
SurfaceConnections	Represents surface connections for heat transfer between compartments in CFAST.
WallVents	Represents wall openings connecting two compartments that physically overlap in elevation.
