Latest news & events
The new Eurocodes Starter Pack of Scia Engineer is offered to cover the needs of civil engineers who want to model, analyse and design typical frame, truss and similar structures made of steel and concrete according to the Eurocodes.
Supported National Annexes
National Annexes for the following countries are covered in Scia Engineer 2010.1:
-
NA Belgium to NBN EN
-
NA Netherlands to NEN EN
-
NA Czech Republic to CSN EN
-
NA France to NF EN

List of supported National Annexes (Project data dialogue)
In future versions, National Annexes for other countries will follow.
Following document contains a table with a detailed overview of the National Annexes to each Eurocode part:
| Status implementation National Annexes in Scia Engineer 
|
The parameters described in the National Determined Parameters (NDP) in the foreword to each EN Eurocode part have been extracted and collected in one National Annex dialogue. On condition that the code of the project is set to Eurocode, the user can select the required National Annex and the National Annex dialogue becomes available, where the National Determined Parameters can be reviewed. All parameters are open, which means that the user can edit the values if desired. In this way, the parameters can be adapted according to the appropriate National Annex. This gives the possibility to use the National Annex of each European country.
Furthermore, it is possible to save the settings and use them in future projects.
Project Data dialogue with opened National Annex Manager
A reference list is made available which can be opened via this dialogue. This allows the user to verify which version of
Eurocode and/or National Annex is used for each country:
Reference list of used Codes
But the main goal of this Manager for National Annexes is to allow the user to verify and adapt the Nationally Determined Parameters. An example is given for EN 1990 (Combinations):
Nationally Determined Parameters for EC0
In the following text, more detailed information is given about the status of the National Annexes to different Eurocode parts in Scia Engineer.
National Annex to Eurocode 0:
The Nationally Determined Parameters in Scia Engineer for Eurocode 0 – Basis of structural design are based on the y factors for buildings and the load combination factors.

| Theoretical Background - NA EC0 in Scia Engineer |
National Annex to Eurocode 1:
For Eurocode 1 – Actions on structures - the National Annexes for part 1-3 (snow loads) and part 1-4 (wind loads) were implemented.
The attached document ‘NA to EC1-Status 2010.1’ gives an overview of the implemented National Annexes in Scia Engineer 2010.1.
Furthermore, a table is included which shows the implemented NA articles and the values for the different countries are compared with the recommended values of EN 1991-1-3 and EN 1991-1-4.
National Annex to Eurocode 2:
The recommended values described by EC-EN 1992-1-1 are implemented in Scia Engineer 2010.1. Also, some articles of part 1-2 and part 2 were considered.
National Annex to Eurocode 3:
For Eurocode 3, National Annexes to following EC parts are considered in Scia Engineer 2010.1:
NA to EC-EN 1993-1-1
NA to EC-EN 1993-1-2
NA to EC-EN 1993-1-3
NA to EC-EN 1993-1-5
NA to EC-EN 1993-1-8
| Theoretical Background - NA EC3 in Scia Engineer |
National Annex to Eurocode 7
The National Annex to EC-EN 1997-1 contains the choice of design approach and the partial factors according to Table A.4 and Table A.5.
The document ‘NA to EC7-Status 2010.1.pdf’ gives an overview of the Nationally Determined Parameters in Scia Engineer.
| List of National choices in EC7 |
| Theoretical Background - NA EC7 in Scia Engineer |
National Annex to Eurocode 9
The National Annex parameters described in chapter 5 and chapter 6 of EC-EN 1999-1-1 are taken into account in Scia Engineer.
