Major new release of GASTAR: dense gas dispersion model

GASTAR version 4.0 offers a major redesign for CERC`s dense gas dispersion model, harmonising it with the ADMS family in layout and output formats.

GASTAR is typically used for modelling accident and emergency response scenarios and site safety involving releases of flammable and/or toxic materials from accidents such as cryogenic spills, catastrophic tank failure, pipe fractures and multi-phase jets.

New features include:

• An intuitive initial Setup screen for title, source material and all modelling options
• Simplified selection and management of the source material
• Output in CERC`s .gst and .gtd formats, compatible with the 2-D plotter
• Support for drag-dropping files (input and output)
• Improved graph colours, symbols and font handling for the integrated line graphs

All the new features are described in detail in the What`s New? guide.

As usual with CERC models, the new version is backwardly compatible with earlier versions. Users with support will get this version within the next few working days.
