Why are SUMO & Continuous Beam Moments Different?

There is often confusion about why the maximum moment displayed in SUMO differs significantly from the maximum moment shown in Continuous Beam when using the Beam Detailing design link for a monolithic beam. In this video, we explain the reason behind this discrepancy and clarify how these results should be interpreted.

This content is particularly useful for structural engineers, civil engineers, and design professionals working with Prokon software, especially those using SUMO and Continuous Beam for concrete design. It may also benefit engineering students seeking to understand how different analysis and design tools handle moment calculations in monolithic beam systems.
