GOALS

• Reduce cost for building and maintaining Fire PRA Models

• Minimize turn-around of fire analysis from operations requests

• Economically increase fire realism by reducing fire modeling

• Enhances existing logic fire models with 3D special information

• Eliminates all hand calculations and transferring of results from secondary applications, reducing errors

• Automatically performs the best analysis option for data available (Heat Soak / THEIF for each cable)

• Visually see failed items for scenarios

• Understand timing and cause of failures (To inspire solutions)

• Perform “What if” calculations in seconds

CENTROID LAB won the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I award from the US Dept of Energy

• Phase I

• The startup phase

• For approximately 6 months support

• Exploration of the technical merit or feasibility of an idea or technology."

• Phase II

• For as many as 2 years.

• Facilitate expansion of Phase I results

• Industrialization and Permeation of Commercial use.
