How to tell CFAST how much material to burn is there? about cfast HOT 13 CLOSED

Might the amount of burning fuel be the area of the fire? As anything which is on the ground of the fire is what burns somewhen?

You specify the heat release rate as a function of time. If you know the heat of combustion, this will enable you to specify the total mass of fuel that is burning.

Also, use the Discussion Group for this kind of question. The Issue Tracker is for bug reports.

Thank you. Where do I find the discussion group? I haven't seen it so far. Yes, the HRR shows how much of the fuel burns. But what does show how much fuel actually is there which can burn?

How much fuel is there is an input that you provide. As the model user, it is up to you to determine what fuel load is appropriate for analysis.

Thank you. In the example case, I read a column with Fuel, but there is only the chemical formula like C9H6O2N2. How can I increase or decrease it? Wouldn't it become a different chemical thing if I change the amount of molecules? For example, if I want to have wood or concrete as burning material. How can I describe that as burning fuel? For example, if I have 2kg of it. How can I describe that?
