PROKON Combine

Optimise steel members for axial, bending, and shear stress

Prokon Steel Combine is a specialized tool designed for engineers to optimize the design and analysis of steel structures. It allows for the combination and optimization of different steel sections to meet specific load-bearing requirements, helping to streamline the design process and reduce material costs. The software is particularly effective for designing complex steel frameworks, such as those used in multi-storey buildings, industrial structures, and other large-scale projects.

Section Combination and Optimisation

Section Combination and Optimisation

Prokon Steel Combine allows users to select and combine various steel sections (such as I-beams, channels, and angles) into a single structural member. The software then optimizes the combination based on strength, weight, and cost considerations, ensuring the most efficient use of materials.

Seismic and Dynamic Analysis

The software supports dynamic analysis for structures subjected to vibrations or seismic activity. It evaluates the performance of combined steel sections under dynamic loads, ensuring that the design can withstand such forces.

Customisable Section Libraries

Users have access to a comprehensive library of standard steel sections and can also create custom sections to meet specific project needs. This flexibility allows for tailored solutions that best fit the structural requirements.

Optimize Load-Bearing Members with Advanced Analysis

COMBINE USE CASE

Challenge

A structural engineering firm is tasked with designing the steel frame for a new commercial building. The project requires detailed structural analysis to ensure the load-bearing capacity of the steel members while minimizing material usage and costs.

Solution

Using Prokon Combine software, engineers input project specifications including building dimensions, loads, and material properties. They perform structural analysis considering axial, bending, and shear stresses, optimizing the design for safety and efficiency. Specialized design tools facilitate the process, allowing for quick iterations and compliance checks.

Results

Prokon Combine streamlines the design process, enabling engineers to efficiently design the steel frame. With precise analysis and optimization tools, they achieve a structurally sound design while minimizing material usage and costs. The software generates detailed engineering drawings and specifications, ensuring clear instructions for fabrication and construction. Ultimately, Prokon Combine helps deliver a safe, durable, and cost-effective steel frame for the commercial building.
