Enhanced Spring Modeling Workflow in Prokon SUMO

A screenshot of Prokon SUMO showing a beam-to-column connection with a spring element. The "Spring laws" panel at the bottom is visible and displays two defined laws: one for Translation and one for Rotation.

Prokon SUMO has introduced a powerful workflow for modeling non-support springs, giving engineers greater control over connection behavior. This new functionality allows you to define springs with asymmetrical stiffness, meaning you can assign different stiffness values for positive and negative actions along the same axis (e.g., upward vs. downward bending). This feature is enabled through […]

IDEA StatiCa as a Design Link for Prokon SUMO
