Fire Data

The heat release data for this case is incorporated into the default one-room case for CFAST/FASTLite. If you are running FASTLite, we suggest that you copy this file into the default example directory, C:\FLITE . The data is available in a generic spread sheet (comma delimited) format and in an Excel worksheet format. Data for the loveseat and sofa is also available in both a generic (comma delimited) format and Excel worksheet format.
