This course, 9 hours 1CFU, is the integration of the FIRE SAFETY DESIGN course. In this course we deepen some aspects for the simulation of active components, such as smoke detectors, Heat and smoke forced extraction systems, etc., in a fire scenario.
Aim of this course is to get the student to explore some specific details of the Fire Dynamic Simulator software and to stimulate his ability to represent, describe and critically analyze the simulation results, in view of the design process. The educational objectives of this course are closely related to those expressed in Fire Safety Design, because this course is an extension of it.
The student will develop the capability of simulating detection/extinction devices, to be used in software for Fire Dynamic Simulation such as FDS or CFAST Safety Engineering
100% of the course (9 hours) will consist in tutorial activities devoted to improve students skills in Fire Dynamic Simulations
Students who have valid certification of physical or learning disabilities on file with the University and who wish to discuss possible accommodations or other circumstances regarding lectures, coursework and exams, should speak both with the instructor and with Professor Federico Scarpa (federico.scarpa@unige.it), the Polytechnic School's disability liaison.

The oral examination consists in the discussion of the use of the special equipments included in the small project of Fire Safety Engineering, prepared by students.
Students with SLD, disability or other regularly certified special educational needs are advised to contact the instructor at the beginning of the course to agree on teaching and examination methods that, in compliance with the course objectives, take into account the individual learning requirements.
During the examination the students will defend their design of the use of special devices, included in the small project of Fire Safety Engineering, prepared by students.
