What is covered by Eurocode 3?
Eurocode 3 (EN 1993) contains guidance for steel structures including plate buckling (EN 1993-1-5) and member stability & connections (EN 1993-1-8). It offers detailed parametric options for advanced calculations and partial safety factor treatments.
How FEMDS relates to Eurocode
FEMDS implements the most widely used verification methods (DNV, API, ABS) while recognizing that Eurocode methods provide deeper, more flexible analysis options. For many global checks and compliance decisions (especially for profiles up to class 3), DNV results produced by FEMDS are effectively equivalent to Eurocode procedures.
