Course content

3 sections • 11 lectures • 1h 46m total length

Introduction2:58
Explore 3d bim modeling and analysis of structural steel with pro con sumo, modeling beams, columns, and slabs to apply load cases on a walkway and compare results to codes.
Project Information5:31
The project information is as follows:
A new client has approached you and asked you to design a new structural steel walkway. The walkway is made out of Grade S355JR steel, and the client has given you an AutoCad file as well as a PDF file of the concept design they had in mind.

Your task as the structural/civil engineer is to model the given design and ensure the client that the structure will be safe for use. Your model must be based on the SANS 10162 Design of Structural Steelwork

Project Model - 1 Setup11:12
Begin a basic Prokon Sumo project by importing materials, defining sections, organizing groups and grid lines, and configuring dead, live, and accidental load cases with combinations.
Project Model - 2-1 Main Beam Members15:01
Project Model - 2-2 Secondary Beam Members13:30
Project Model - 3 Bracing Members13:17
Project Model - 4 Load Cases14:00
Apply dead and live loads through load cases, distribute line and triangular loads on main and secondary beams, and assess deflection against sun's code, including an accidental 5 kN load.
Model Results and Changes12:41
Analyze model results showing a 15.2 mm deflection on a two-meter beam-column, then propose bracing and component sizing to meet allowable deflection and prepare future strength checks.
Design of members5:54
In the design of members, we will do a design check according to SANS 10162 to see if the structural members used are adequate for the proposed design.
Design Report4:45
We will end the course with a design report, which is produced by the Prokon Sumo Software.

Understanding of structural/civil engineering

Description

Basic Structural Steel Prokon Sumo Modeling is a course that is focused on modeling a structural steel structure in the Prokon Sumo software.

The goal of this course is to help structural/civil engineers understand the capabilities and possibilities of using 3D BIM software.

Sumo is a 3D BIM modeling and analysis tool. Create three-dimensional (3-D) models of structures using real-world structural elements like slabs, columns, and beams. The analysis and design tool Sumo is of the latest generation and is BIM compliant.

The design of the structural steel walkway is according to the South African National Standard (SANS) 10162 Design of Structural Steelwork code.

After the completion of the course, the learner will be able to:

Model a basic structural steel walkway
Add load cases to the structural steel walkway, load cases will be based on the use of the structural steel and what the SANS code says about it
Analyze and interpret the output obtained from the software
Do basic design checks on the members that were used for the structure
Add the results to a report generated by the Prokon software
An extra design check will be done to ensure the walkway plate used will be adequate for the structure.

I hope that this course will teach you how to use Prokon Sumo modeling and how to incorporate it into your daily life as a design engineer.
