PROKON Structural Analysis and Design is a suite of commercial software for structural analysis and design. PROKON software is produced by Irish company Prokon Software Limited.
The Prokon company and PROKON software name is an acronym for the Afrikaans phrase "PROgrammatuur KONsultante" (programming consultants).
PROKON software comprises over 40 modules in the following categories:
The software includes full support for British, European and South African design codes, with some modules also supporting North American, Australian, New Zealand, Russian and selected Asian design codes.[6] PROKON appears on the Hong Kong Building Department list of pre-accepted computer programs for use in Hong Kong.[7]
PROKON software offers multi-lingual design output: all modules are available in English and some offer support for German, Afrikaans and Russian.[8]
PROKON uses a workflow that output data between analysis, design and detailing modules. It supports data exchange formats with third-party software: DXF and DWG drawings, and CIS/2 CIMsteel[9] three-dimensional structural models. The Prodesk module enables data exchange between Autodesk Revit and PROKON.
