Abstract:
FASTLite is a collection of procedures which builds on
the core routines of FIREFORM and the computer model
CFAST to provide engineering calculations of fire
phenomena for the building designer, code official, fire
protection engineer and fire safety related
practitioner. This manual provides documentation and
examples for using FASTLite. It describes how to install
the software on a computer and provides a guide for the
use of FASTLite using an example.
