Vulcan Solutions LtdThe 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. 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. email : Professor Roger Plank |
