# 🇪🇺 Calculators for Europe

> Welcome to the calculators for Europe. Here you'll find comprehensive documentation and examples for structural calculations based on Eurocodes including EN 1993 (Eurocode 3) for steel and EN 1995 (Eurocode 5) for timber.

    <strong>Looking for something specific?</strong> Use the <strong>AI assistant</strong> in this documentation site. Ask in plain language, for example <em>"How do I design a steel beam to EN 1993?"</em> or <em>"Where is the Eurocode 3 sample building project?"</em> It searches our guides and worked examples for you.
