TFS-E100922:
Add European Wind Codes (EN 1991-1-4, EN 1998-1 and EN 1991-1-3)
Description:
Occasional loads, like wind, seismic and snow, but especially wind, have mostly been based on American standards (like ASCE), which makes it hard for European work to accurate model wind loads.
Suggestion to include an option in AutoPIPE, to define occ. loads (like wind, seismic and snow) based on relevant EN standards (EN 1991-1-4, EN 1998-1 and EN 1991-1-3, respectively), using also the national annexes. This way, the user only has to select the region the piping system is in, and AutoPIPE can apply the local values for occ loads (based on national annexes), and relevant calculation methods (EN 199x-series standards).
