OpenFIRE
The objective of this project is to couple OpenSEES with FDS. This is the first open-source package to simulate the structural response to fire. It contains various modules which are described below.
Devices and Element Sets
This module allows to create devices for FDS , heat transfer file, and element sets for structural analysis in OpenSEES.
Repositories: Device and Elements
Node Sets for structural analysis
This module of the OpenFIRE allows to create the number of nodes required for structural analysis.
​
Repositories: NodeSet Creation
Batch File
This module creates a batch file when BNDF (a method to specify a quantity in FDS) method is used. It also contains another module to transfer data for HT analysis in OpenSEES.

Repositories: Batch File Creation
FDS to OpenSEES
This module transfer the output of FDS in OpenSEES format OpenSEES to perform heat transfer analysis.
Run FDS and OpenSEES
User can run FDS and OpenSEES from this module. However, both programs can be run independently.
