SUMO 3D STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS & BIM SOFTWARE ANALYSIS | BIM MODELLING | A01
Detailed Description Sumo is a general-purpose frame and finite element analysis software aimed at structural engineers. With a powerful graphical modelling interface, you get the benefit of PROKON ’s tried and tested analysis engine in a modern program. A properties palette is always visible, allowing you to navigate model parameters similar to most popular CAE software. While you model, Sumo takes care of node assignment in the background. This is a major improvement on older software where nodes had to be modified manually when changes were made to the model. The analyst has full control over the location and number of nodes through the various mesh controls. Defining a beam, column, or wall is as easy as selecting the beam, column or wall tool and drawing the element. Input wizards are available to speed up the modelling of common structures. Sumo allows for collaboration with Autodesk® Revit® and Advance Steel® through the Prodesk add-ins. This avoids the need to remodel every time, saving much time. Sumo also supports industry standard file formats like IFC and DWG, making it suitable to communicate with third party software. Modelling Modelling in Sumo is easy with the sophisticated graphical interface. Alternatively, models can be imported from Autodesk products using the Prodesk add-in or one of the supported exchange formats.
