Prokon Weld Group
Analyse and design weld groups, including evaluation of eccentric loads
Prokon Weld Group delivers an efficient solution for analysing and designing weld groups; interconnected welded joints that act as a single structural unit. It empowers engineers to perform both linear and non-linear load analyses within the weld plane. The software excels in assessing eccentric loads on connections, providing comprehensive design calculations that ensure accurate, reliable, and optimised weld group designs without unnecessary complexity.
- Comprehensive Weld Group Analysis
- Linear and Non-Linear Load Analysis
- Eccentric Load Evaluation
- Code-Compliant Design Calculations
- Optimised Weld Force Distribution
- User-friendly Interface with Clear Outputs
Overcome Complexity in Weld Group Analysis
Prokon Weld Group simplifies the process of analysing multiple interconnected welded joints as one unified structural element. This eliminates the confusion and risk of miscalculating forces when treating each weld separately, ensuring accurate assessment of the overall connection behaviour.
Eliminate Inaccuracy from Eccentric and Non-Linear Loads
Weld groups often experience complex loading, including eccentric and non-linear forces that traditional tools struggle to evaluate. Prokon Weld Group accurately models these real-world conditions, preventing unsafe designs and costly overengineering.
Reduce Time and Errors in Manual Calculations
Manual weld design calculations can be tedious and error-prone, increasing project risk and delays. Prokon Weld Group automates detailed, code-compliant calculations, accelerating the design process while enhancing reliability and compliance.
Optimise Weld Group Design
WELD GROUP USE CASE
Challenge
A structural engineering firm is tasked with designing the welded connections for a large industrial warehouse’s steel framework. The project specifications require precise analysis and design of weld groups to ensure the structural integrity and safety of the entire structure. Engineers need a solution that can accurately evaluate eccentric loads on connections, perform detailed design calculations, and provide versatile analysis capabilities to address the complex load conditions expected in the industrial environment. Additionally, the software must streamline the design process, allowing for efficient workflow management to meet project deadlines effectively.
Solution
The engineering team selects Prokon Weld Group to meet the project requirements efficiently. Using the software, engineers input parameters such as weld dimensions, material properties, and applied loads. Prokon Weld Group’s intuitive interface enables engineers to perform detailed design calculations, evaluate eccentric loads on connections, and conduct both linear and non-linear analyses to assess weld group behavior under various load conditions. With its streamlined workflow, the software facilitates quick iteration and refinement of weld group designs, ensuring optimal performance and safety for the industrial warehouse structure.

FAQs
Yes, Prokon Weld Group is designed to analyse a wide range of welded connections, including butt welds, fillet welds, and groove welds, among others.
Prokon Weld Group utilises advanced algorithms and calculations to ensure accurate analysis results. Engineers can rely on the software to provide precise insights into the behaviour of welded connections under various load conditions.
Prokon Weld Group is designed to analyse individual welded joints. While it can accommodate joints of varying complexity, it evaluates one connection at a time rather than entire welded assemblies. For more complex arrangements, each joint must be assessed separately.
Yes, Prokon Weld Group adheres to industry standards and regulations, ensuring that designs produced with the software meet required safety and compliance standards.
