# 3. Perform a Site-Specific Analysis

## 📍 Why It Matters

Eurocode requires that you consider site-specific conditions:

* **Terrain category** (e.g. open sea, suburban, forest)
* **Orography effects** (e.g. hills, escarpments)

If you're not accounting for these, you may:

* Be **overly conservative**, rejecting co-locations that could be accepted
* Or worse, **underestimate loads**, risking structural non-compliance

## 🛠️ Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Select the location tab and input the coordinates of your site. Example: 62.45246, 6.38183.
2. Select the correct national annex.

Shapemaker supports a wide range of national annexes and standards and are continuously adding more.

3. After saving, press `Automatic wind profile` to perform an automatic site specific assement. This includes

* Finding the `Fundamental basic wind velocity` based on local wind maps
* For each wind direction, finding the `Terrain Category`&#x20;
* For each wind direction, calculating the `Orography factor`&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
All site-specific values can be overruled by the user by clicking `Edit wind profile`

{% hint style="success" %}
If you have precise updated wind data for a site, you can upload and use that data!
{% endhint %}

## ✅ You Now Have

* A site-specific wind profile for your structure according to your national annex
* Terrain and orography effects integrated into your analysis
