Level up your CONTAM workflow

Ventus provides a premium user experience for industry leading simulation software, CONTAM. We created Ventus to improve the workflows of CONTAM users by utilizing our expertise in delivering 3D modeling applications for fire protection engineering, as seen in our other products like PyroSim. Whether you are performing smoke control analysis or analyzing occupant tenability, Ventus will accelerate your smoke control project, saving you time and resources.

You should consider Ventus for your next Fire Protection Engineering (FPE) project for several reasons:

• Build pressure zone models intuitively using Ventus' 3D modeling approach.
• Your existing geometry, exported from tools like Autodesk Revit, can serve as a source of truth for Ventus geometry because of Ventus' robust BIM import capabilities.
• Perform static pressurization simulations for smoke control analysis.
• Control contaminants via transient species tracking for occupant tenability studies.
• Manage your scenarios easily thanks to Ventus' ability to manage multi-variable scenarios for simplified batch simulation and analysis.
• Analyze simulation outcomes faster thanks to Ventus' simplified visualization and interface for complex results data.
• Quickly and clearly communicate project outcomes with AHJs, governing bodies, and high-value clients with Ventus' superior visualization capabilities.
