Safir is a computer software for the simulation of the behaviour of building structures subjected to fire.
The fire is introduced as input data; several options are proposed to interface with fire models including through gas temperature-time curves, net heat flux on the surface of the structure, and data transfer from localized fire models and computational fluid dynamics models. Safir calculates the evolution of the temperature in the structural elements which can be discretized in 2D or 3D, then calculates the mechanical response of the structure exposed to fire.
Starting with version 2022, the recommended preprocessor is GmSAFIR. GmSAFIR is free and open source. Developments for use of the former preprocessor, GiD, are discontinued.
For 25 years, ULiège has been pursuing a policy of decompartmentalising research and mixing sites in order to achieve sufficient size and encourage cross-fertilisation between researchers,
teachers and startup companies.
You are a researcher at ULiège and the results of your research have commercial potential. Gesval's mission is to assist you in an effort to ensure they are processed in the best possible way to grow this potential.
AT THE HEART OF INNOVATION'S ECOSYSTEM
Gesval S.A. is a public limited company owned by the University of Liège (ULiège). Its mission is to manage the University of Liège's intellectual property and to promote it on the market, either through licences granted to existing companies or through the creation of spin-offs stemming from university research.
ACTIVE SPIN-OFFS
ACTIVE LICENCES
ACTIVE PATENT FAMILIES
ULiège has created 141 spin-offs to date, 100 of which are still in activity. Gesval is a shareholder in 52 of them and their cumulative equity represents more than EUR 290 million. There are more than 1500 specialized jobs, mainly located in LIEGE Science Park.
