Argos is a program for fire risk evaluation, which can predict smoke spread, temperature, radiation etc. Simulations are based on a zone-model which can model fires in up to 10 rooms.
Argos can provide you with:
Objective and documented risk analysis at reduced costs and time
On-line presentation of simulation results in dialogue with your client
An expert system for evaluation of response times for fire detectors, response time for fire brigades etc
Argos has a sophisticated fire-model library, where you can choose between different types of fire:
Solid Fire
Melting Material Fire
Liquid Pool Fire
Liquid Tank Fire
Smouldering Fire
Energy Formula Fire (t^2 fires)
Data Point Fire (the user inputs their own data)
Argos is a modern Windows program with context sensitive help. Pressing F1 will bring you straight to the relevant help text. It can be run on a single computer or it can be installed on several computers that share the same database. (Each user can also have his own database, but in a company environment, data-sharing is preferred).
Argos easily produces reports and graphs from inside the program, so there is no need to carry out external data processing. If you wish, the data can be exported to a spreadsheet, such as Excel.
