The '''SMARTFIRE''' CFD Engine can use fully unstructured 3D meshes, although the default meshing system produces structured Cartesian meshes. The CFD Engine supports transient or steady state simulations with heat, flow, K-Epsilon turbulence, thermal radiation using multiple rays, gaseous combustion using the eddy dissipation model, toxicity, smoke and sprinkler modelling.
