B-RISK

B-RISK version 1.6.2 stands out as a notable program in the 3D Design subcategory of Photo & Graphics software. This advanced room fire simulator, developed by BRANZ and the University of Canterbury, is especially praised for its latin hypercube stratified sampling capability. The program showcases its prowess in providing fire simulation results in a probabilistic form, thus quantifying the variability and uncertainty associated with fire environment predictions.

The B-RISK executable file, BRISK.exe, integrates several intricate features within the design tool. This includes capabilities such as a design fire generator, an item-to-item fire spread module, and a comprehensive sprinkler response module. The latter encompasses multiple head operations alongside parameters for the effectiveness and reliability of sprinkler systems. Moreover, B-RISK extends its reliability to other systems like smoke detectors, mechanical systems, and passive elements, including doors and more.

As a free download, B-RISK is an excellent choice for users operating on Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11. The fact that it operates under the Freeware license makes it an attractive option for those within the industry. It’s also worth mentioning the continuity and improvements through its versions 1.6, 1.5, and 1.0.

Pros:

• Free software, eliminating any licensing costs.
• Comprehensive features, including design fire generator, fire spread module, and sprinkler response module.
• Supports multiple Windows operating systems.
• Provides probabilistic results offering insight into variability and uncertainty.
