SUPER-TASEF is a set of computer programs for calculating temperatures in structures exposed to fire. The program package contains a preprocessor used for defining the geometry, boundary conditions, control parameters and material data and a postprocessor for plotting the geometry nodes, elements, contour lines for important variables and produce time temperature histories. The thermal analysis code is based on the finite element method. Two dimensional and axisymmetrical structures may be analyzed. Problems involving conduction in a solid coupled with radiation in enclosures within the solid can be solved. A module for calculating section moment capacity of steel and reinforced concrete is also available. The entire code is based on the public domain versions of MAZE, TOPAZ2D and ORION, available from Lawrence Livermore Laboratory in USA. Routines and experience from the old version of the code TASEF have also been used in the development of this program package.
