The versatility of the FDE software enables us to instantaneously calculate paint loadings for a variety of steel member scenarios. The link between FDE and Tekla allows us to intelligently populate our models with the necessary information to be included on our fabrication drawings. Further fire engineering can be conducted that considers actual member loadings to optimise the fire design, which in turn has environmental benefits whilst still providing a safe solution.
