Prokon Know-How: Wind Analysis – Part 01

Jacobus Oberholster | AEC Engineering Technical Consultant (Prokon)

Wind loading can be a tedious process, especially when it comes to applying your Peak Wind Speed Pressure to all of the different zones and in both directions. Prokon’s Wind Analysis module GREATLY simplifies this entire process and provides you with a detailed Calcsheet indicating all of the different calculations and variables. A massive time saver. In this clip, I introduce the Wind Analysis module and also how it links with some of SUMO’s Wizards, seriously speeding up your modeling workflow.

In Part 02, I will look at calculating and including your two Cpi factors as well.
