simulex :

Post by gopphy »

Hi all Experts,

I have trouble with comparing smoke layer interface height and egress time.
Can anybody tell me if any one multiply the simulex's result of egress time by a certain constant for comparing with smoke hazard ?

I've never found a way of including smoke effects with Simulex...

I would assume that you would have to zone the model slightly differently and post-process the figures for each new zone layer in accordance with the smoke effect on occupants.

T'intenet would be a good place to start for the smoke effect.
