safe3D

By DeepMesh Studio

3D Fire and Gas
Mapping Software

From detector layout to visible coverage.

safe3D helps engineers assess flame and gas detector coverage across multiple zones within seconds. Evaluate volumetric and geographic coverage in your 3D plant model, account for obstructions in flame detection, and review gaps and overlap.

Calculation time varies with model complexity, grid resolution and hardware.

Why safe3D?

From smart model import to clear coverage results, safe3D brings the tools for your assessment into one workspace.

01 / SMART MODEL IMPORT

Your model, ready for assessment.

Import 3D DWF models exported from Autodesk® Navisworks® software, alongside GLB, glTF, OBJ and STL files. Open your .NWD model in Navisworks Manage or Simulate, export it as a 3D DWF file, then import the exported model into safe3D. Use the equipment and structures in your model to check obstructions in flame detector coverage.

For models with large coordinates, smart import can translate the study area to simpler working coordinates near the local origin. The original reference is retained, with options to use original coordinates during assessment so you can check detector and zone locations against the native 3D model.

02 / FAST CALCULATION

Calculate zone coverage
within seconds.

Calculate flame and gas detection coverage across your assessment zones using a volumetric or geographic approach based on performance based detection. Adjust detector positions, orientations or study settings, then recalculate to see the effect on gaps and overlap.

Calculation time varies with model complexity, grid resolution and hardware.

03 / CLEAR VISUALISATION

See coverage in 2D
and throughout the volume.

Use 2D contours to inspect coverage at a selected elevation. Use isovolumes to examine coverage throughout the assessed 3D volume, including gaps and overlap at different heights around equipment.

Check volumetric coverage across the study area, beyond a single slice.

04 / INTUITIVE FUNCTIONALITY

An intuitive workflow
directly on your model.

Right click and drag on the model to add a zone. Right click at the desired location to add a detector. This intuitive workflow lets you define the assessment directly in the 3D view, then refine properties and inspect coverage.

Model navigation, detector setup and results in one workspace.

05 / EXPERT TEAM SUPPORT

Support throughout
your assessment.

Our expert team is available throughout your work with safe3D. We support you with model import, study setup, detector configuration and reviewing coverage results, and help you work through questions as your assessment develops.

Contact us for guidance from initial setup through to your results.

06 / INDUSTRY APPLICATIONS

Fire and gas mapping
across industries.

Use safe3D in industries that require fire and gas detection coverage assessment, including offshore and onshore oil and gas, petrochemicals, chemical processing, power generation and renewables.

Bring your facility model into the study, define the areas requiring detection and assess flame and gas detector coverage against the equipment and structures. Inspect gaps and overlap to support detector layout decisions for your application.

07 / ONLINE VIEWER

Share your study.
Review it online.

Share your native .safe3D study file with clients and colleagues so they can explore the 3D model, inspect detectors and zones, and review saved coverage results in their browser. No desktop installation is required. The viewer opens the file locally without uploading the study.

Open safe3D Viewer

Understand what each
detector layout covers.

Explore the calculation and the view it produces. The images below are captured from safe3D.

Account for what stands
between a detector and a fire.

safe3D evaluates sample points against each enabled flame detector’s field of view and checks whether the imported geometry blocks the line of sight.

What you inspect
Uncovered locations, single detector coverage and overlapping coverage, shown in the context of the plant.
How you use it
Adjust the position or orientation of a detector, recalculate, and compare the resulting gaps and coverage percentages.

Connect individual detector performance to the coverage of the layout as a whole.

01 / CONTRIBUTIONS

Detector contributions

Review the additional and cumulative coverage contributed by individual flame detectors, calculated from the study results.

See which detectors add coverage to the layout.

02 / RANKINGS

Detector rankings

Rank flame detectors by the change in 1ooN and 2ooN coverage when each detector is disabled.

Compare the effect of losing a detector.

03 / PDF

PDF reporting

Bring study settings, coverage results and model views together in a report that can be shared for review.

Present the assumptions alongside the results.

Take the result
into the engineering review.

Review coverage numerically, then export the data and model views needed to explain the study.
