Designing a Concrete Beam Using SUMO FEA Only

SUMO software interface displaying a structural analysis model of a concrete beam using shell elements, with reinforcement contour results shown in a color gradient.

Comparing Finite Element Analysis (FEA) outputs with traditional code-based calculations is a complex and comprehensive topic. In this video, I assess the Concrete Design and FEA capabilities of Prokon’s SUMO software to determine whether its results align with standard code-based methods. I also explore whether SUMO’s output can be relied upon exclusively for designing the […]
