Geographic region detection for design parameters
Get Region
Determines which geographic or design region contains the specified coordinates.
Available Datasets:
- Wind Regions:
us_wind_asce7_16_rc1-4,no_base_wind_speed,se_base_wind_speed, etc. - Snow Regions:
norway_snow,se_snow - Geographic:
countries_marine_land - Other:
no_directional_factor
Use Cases:
- Determine applicable building code region
- Identify design wind speed zone (ASCE 7-16 Risk Categories I-IV)
- Find snow load classification for European standards
- Auto-populate design parameters based on project location
Response: Region properties including zone identifiers, design values, and metadata. Returns nearest region if coordinates fall outside boundaries (within 10km).
