| Description |
The EXODUS suite of software represents
a computer based laboratory for evaluating emergency and non-emergency
movement and behaviour of people in aircraft, buildings and ships.
EXODUS simulates people-people, people-fire and people-structure
interactions. It tracks the path of each individual as they make
their way out of the enclosure, or are overcome by fire hazards
such as heat, smoke and toxic gases. EXODUS allows a cost effective
way to achieving safer and more functional designs, allowing
designers and regulators to seek answers to questions that cannot
be addressed using conventional approaches. EXODUS enables difficult
planning issues to be assessed in order to find the ideal design
solution.
