Prokon 3.1 Level 1
- Chris Vorster |
This is the first of two courses in this group and will focus on the fundamentals of Prokon Structural Analysis 3.1.
Prokon is a set / suite of Structural Analysis and Design modules that provides Designers with rapid problem solving tools that are aligned with international design codes and standards. Prokon is widely adopted throughout the world and integrates with popular Autodesk products such as Autodesk Revit, making it a key tool in the Structural Engineer's toolbox.
Fundamental Structural Engineering concept knwoledge and experience is required to complete this course.
Learn to define Structural FEA models and perform analyses and designs using the Prokon suite of tools through this course.

Methodology
7 Modules are presented through interactive video presentation and practical demonstration.
Each module is followed by a short comprehension test which requires a minimum pass rate of 100%.
Users can complete a minimum of one module at a time / per session; or all of them consecutively if desired.
An assignment at the end of the Learning Path is required to be completed and submitted for review by the Course Coach (75% minimum pass rate required). This is followed by a short course survey and finally, official certification.
Approximately 24 hours required (total sum of course learning modules, tests and asessment) to complete this course.
Course material
Course materials will be made available from within the training modules.
