CONCLUDING REMARKS
� SAFIR and ABAQUS performed well the heat transfer analysis
� SAFIR and ABAQUS showed a good ability to simulate steel structural behaviour under fire conditions using beam elements
� Some of the differences between the results of the 2 programs could be explained by:
• Temperature gradients in cross-sections approximate d in ABAQUS
• Difficulty to simulate the behaviour of springs wit h SAFIR (no dedicated finite element)
