Designing Concrete Elements using Prokon SUMO & 7 Design Links
Understanding the distinction between analysis and design is crucial in structural engineering. While analysis involves applying loads and evaluating load effects such as deflections and stresses, design ensures that structural elements comply with national and international codes. This article, based on a recent webinar, explores the use of Prokon SUMO and its design links to streamline the workflow for designing concrete elements. From beam detailing to column and footing design, we examine the functionality, applications, and best practices of SUMO’s powerful tools, demonstrating how they enhance efficiency and accuracy in structural design.
