Abstract:

In order to meet the need of the performance- based fire design for building structures, the system implementation method of fire response analysis of integral structure was studied. By adding special commands and windows using the PCL language provided by MSC/Patran and Fortran language, a system for analyzing the overall behavior of structures under fire was developed on MSC/Patran platform. The overall analysis process of building structures under fire is accomplished by adopting the fiber-beam element and layered shell element and the thermal finite element program. This system can be used as the reference for the fire safety design and analysis of general building structures under fire. 

Key words: fire reaction, software development, MSC/Patran, PCL, Fortran
