CFAST

CFAST (Consolidated Model of Fire and Smoke Transport) is a computer program that helps fire investigators, safety officials, engineers, architects, and builders understand how fire and smoke might spread through a building. By simulating different fire scenarios, CFAST can show how smoke, heat, and harmful gases move and change as a fire progresses.

The program works with another tool from NIST called Smokeview. Smokeview creates easy-to-understand, 3D animations that visually represent the results of the simulation, showing how fire temperatures rise, smoke spreads, and gases flow through different rooms.
