Computational fire models predict smoke movement, temperature distributions, toxic gas concentrations, and structural response during fire events — enabling performance-based design that goes beyond prescriptive building codes. From atrium smoke management systems to tunnel ventilation design, these simulations save lives by validating safety systems before construction begins.</p>
