Eurocode compliant ComFlor 9 now available

The new Tata Steel composite floor design software ComFlor 9, developed for Tata Steel by the Steel Construction Institute, is now Eurocode compliant and available to design engineers.

ComFlor 9 software analyses the Tata Steel floor deck range from shallow decks, ComFlor 51+, ComFlor 60 and ComFlor 80 to deep deck, ComFlor 225 in composite floor construction and is the first major update to this widely used (Comdek) software since 2009.

The key features of the new software are:

• Design to the Eurocodes, including localisation for UK, Ireland and the Netherlands.
• Customised deck profile selections for multiple design locations worldwide, namely New Zealand and ROW (Rest of the World), while a selection of a region will present the profiles currently available there.

The new Eurocode design option is in accordance with EN1991, EN1993, and EN1994 as implemented by local National Annexes.

When using ComFlor 9, the first choice should be design code and location.  Defaults are Eurocode and United Kingdom which will provide Eurocode design to the UK National Annexes and the profile range available in the UK.
