Improving Fire Safety through Simulation and Modelling 2026

A one-day IMechE seminar in Birmingham on fire modelling tools and best practice for engineers, co-located with Fire Safety on the Railway.

This Institution of Mechanical Engineers seminar explores how simulation and modelling can be used to manage fire, smoke and detonation risks in design. Sessions cover evacuation modelling, smoke modelling, gas dispersion modelling and pre-incident planning, with themes including battery and hydrogen fuel risks, AI-driven wildfire modelling, transport infrastructure and structural fire. Attendees hear on-stage discussions from simulation practitioners, take part in interactive Q&A and network with engineers across industries; the event is co-located with Fire Safety on the Railway at the same venue and date.
