Prepare for the next evolution in structural engineering. PROKON 5.4 brings AI interaction and flexible automation to the software you trust, giving you new ways to work while keeping you in control.
Work Smarter
Eliminate repetitive tasks and streamline design iterations with Python scripting support across concrete modules and automated engineering workflows.
Go Further
Tackle complex structural challenges with expanded analysis integrations, modernised BIM interfaces, and specialised design catalogues.
Here is what’s new in PROKON 5.4
PROKON 5.4: Engineering Control Meets Artificial Intelligence
Don’t choose between AI and engineering control; with PROKON 5.4, you don’t have to.
Artificial Intelligence becomes a new way to interact with PROKON, serving as an intelligent interface without replacing the trusted engineering software you rely on.
Three Ways to Work. One Trusted Engineering Platform.
PROKON 5.4 gives engineers complete flexibility in how they build, automate, and verify structural designs:
- MCP-Compatible AI: Work through your choice of Model Context Protocol (MCP) compatible AI platforms to streamline complex tasks.
- Scripting & Automation: Build customised, repeatable workflows using Python scripts and CLI commands.
- Traditional PROKON Interface: Continue working in the familiar PROKON desktop environment whenever you prefer.
AI is the interface. PROKON is the engineering. You remain in control.
At any stage of the workflow, engineers can return to the familiar PROKON environment to inspect, interrogate, and verify the calculations and details behind the design.
Concrete Modules
