From Wind Loads to Baseplate Design using SUMO

A screenshot of the Prokon SUMO structural analysis software showing a 3D model of a billboard. An enlarged inset view with a large red arrow shows a detailed analysis of the connection between the support column and the base, displaying forces and stresses.

Prokon’s SUMO module is more than just an analysis tool — it also features a range of built-in Design Links that allow for the direct design of specific components within your model. These Design Links significantly streamline the workflow, saving both time and effort.

In this video, we focus on the Baseplate Design Link, showing how it can be used to design the column base of a billboard structure.

This tutorial is especially relevant for structural engineers looking to make the most of Prokon’s integrated design capabilities.
