Overview¶
OpenFire provides a comprehensive set of tools for fire safety engineering calculations and analysis. Built in Rust for performance and safety, with Python bindings for ease of use.
Key Features¶
High Performance: Implemented in Rust for maximum speed and memory safety
Python Integration: Easy-to-use Python API for rapid development
Building Blocks: Tools for creating all types of fire safety engineering calculations
Quick Start¶
import ofire
# Calculate heat release rate of a fuel controlled fire (PD 7974 Part 1)
a_t = 20.0 # Total internal surface area (m²)
a_v = 4.0 # Area of ventilation opening (m²)
h_v = 2.1 # Height of ventilation opening (m)
q_fo = ofire.pd_7974.part_1.section_8.equation_28.q_fo(a_t, a_v, h_v)
print(f"Heat release rate of fuel controlled fire: {q_fo:.0f} kW")
