Vulcan Solutions Ltd

The Company will sell a software product called Vulcan as well as provide training sessions in its use and utilise the software to provide consulting services.

The Vulcan software project was developed over a period of more than fifteen years by the University of Sheffield and Buro Happold, supported by the teamwork of the Department of Civil & Structural Engineering and the School of Architecture. The academics involved are Professor Ian Burgess (Department of Civil & Structural Engineering) and Professor Roger Plank (School of Architecture).

Vulcan

Vulcan is a Structural Fire Engineering tool based upon a finite element analysis (FEA) program and was developed specifically for the analysis of building performance in fire conditions. Vulcan is capable of modelling the global 3 dimensional behaviour of composite steel-framed buildings, under fire conditions. The analysis considers the whole frame action and includes geometrical and material non-linearity within its beam-column and slab elements. It also includes the ability to represent semi-rigid connections that degrade with temperature and partial interaction between the steel section and slab.
