Hidde,
I'm in complete agreement with Craig Prahl on this.
I'm unfamiliar with the software you're referencing and I have no way of
knowing if it can perform hydraulic calculations for a fire sprinkler
system in the manner that most fire sprinkler systems are designed. In
brief terms, fire sprinkler system calculations are based on determining
if what you've laid out will deliver what you need at the hydraulically
most remote outlet (sprinkler), based on the supply pressure and flow.
The fire pump you've referenced may be completely adequate as a means to
deliver a substantial enough pressure to achieve the required flow and
pressure for the system when combined with a municipal or stored water
supply.
Fire sprinkler system calculations are based on "what do you need" at
some point such as the most remote flowing sprinkler, while the
calculations for other trades primarily focus on "what will you get".
sincerely,
