Modelling a Power Transmission Pylon in Prokon SUMO
Power transmission pylons are critical structures in the energy sector, supporting overhead power lines and ensuring safe and efficient electricity transmission over long distances.Designing and analysing these tall, slender steel frameworks requires both accuracy and flexibility — this is where Prokon SUMO becomes a powerful tool. SUMO provides a 3D finite element modelling environment where […]
Modelling Shear Wall & Braces in Prokon SUMO
Shear walls in Prokon SUMO are best modelled using Wall Tool, which applies shell elements for accurate stiffness representation. Why Lateral Stability Matters: Stability Systems: Benefits of Shear Walls & Bracing: Applications: This is a guide on how to model a concrete frame with shear walls and a steel frame with bracing in Prokon SUMO.
