Before I started using Prokon Software, my biggest challenge was version control of design spreadsheets by different designers. Prokon Software helped me overcome this challenge by integrating all the design calculators into a single hub for better quality control. I found the pattern load analysis features of continuous beams (Module C01) incredibly handy because they reduce the time spent counting the load pattern in design compared to other analysis tools on the market. In addition, the deflection calculation is very useful and accurate and can reflect the contribution from the actual reinforcement used. These allow the designer to better deliver an efficient structural solution. Since implementing Prokon Software, we've seen a significant improvement in efficiency and consistency in the way the design calculations are standardized. Overall, my experience with Prokon Software has been very positive.

Prokon Structural Engineering Solutions is taught in “Structural Engineering 4A and Project Design 4A " at our undergraduate degree level. In Project Design, students model real-world projects to gain an appreciation for industry practice. They use Prokon as their Primary analysis and design tool, which is then checked by physical calculations. Prokon is our software of choice because it is simple yet captures all the detail. In Structural Analysis 4A, I have found that students understand the concepts much better and can relate to the 3D models that Prokon generates.
