- Abstract
- Installation and use of the Harvard/NIST VI multi-room fire simulation (computer code on the IBM PC and compatibles) is described. Two separate auxiliary programs, MASBANK and PREPLOT are also described and their use illustrated. Use of the input menus is described and illustrated. Comments are made on the effect of the choice of alternative sub-models on predicted results. Some suggestions for use on other computers are made. The HO6.3 disks for use with this report include: Disk #1: All files (in packed form) needed to run HO6.3 and the two auxiliary programs: MASBANK and PREPLOT. A group of (packed) files including a short data base file and a sample output of HO6.3. Disk #2: Section 1 including 17 out of 25 source code files for HO6.3. Disk #3: Section 2 including the final 8 source code files of HO6.3 and source code for MASBANK, PREPLOT and the auxiliary source code file DTIME.
