STRAKON — CUBE — 3D reinforcement

STRAKON — 3D reinforcement in the model
Up to 80% faster than manual CAD workflows
Up and running in no time Skip the steep learning curve. Our training gets your team designing confidently from day one — no guesswork, no wasted weeks.
Built for speed, proven for efficiency Work faster, cut errors, and stop losing hours to rework. STRAKON is engineered to save you time on every single project.
2D. 3D. BIM. One software. Why juggle tools? Model in 2D or 3D, seamlessly, inside one CAD/BIM platform built specifically for reinforced concrete.
Germany's #1 for a reason The leading structural design software in Germany and beyond — because the best engineers demand the best design experience.
True Open BIM, no compromises IFC4-certified and built for real collaboration. Exchange models effortlessly with any BIM software, and keep every team working from one shared 3D model.
Buy once. Own it forever. No subscriptions, no recurring fees — a perpetual license that's yours for life.

Design.

A clear, intelligent interface that supports every stage of the workflow — model, detail and document without ever leaving the drawing.

Modern, transparent user interface A vast set of commands and options in a single, uncluttered environment — layers, snap settings, element properties, and result query for formwork, reinforcement and precast parts never leave one window.
Work in 2D and 3D at the same time Plan, section and 3D view stay associative — edit a wall thickness, opening or slab edge in any one of them and the geometry, formwork and reinforcement update instantly across all views.
BIM compatible Import 2D drawings and IFC4 models, edit elements directly and create reinforcement inside the same model — the structural model stays part of the shared BIM project, not an island.
Flex-Parts and 3D Embedded Parts Reuse parametric Flex-Parts and a library of 3D embedded parts from leading manufacturers instead of modeling recurring components from scratch — repetitive tasks disappear and projects move noticeably faster.

Analysis.

Model checks that run alongside the design — catch clashes and confirm changes before they ever reach the drawing.

Every bar type, fully parametric Straight bars, stirrups, ties, spirals and welded meshes — define diameter, spacing, concrete cover, lap and anchorage length, and bending shape individually, or generate them with wizards built to Eurocode 2 (EN 1992-1-1) rules. Every parameter stays editable, giving full control and flexibility over the design at any stage.
Geometry-driven 3D reinforcement Reinforcement is linked directly to the structural geometry — resize, extend or bevel an element and bar lengths, stirrup counts and mesh cuts recalculate automatically, without redrawing a single bar.
Clash detection An automatic check across reinforcement, embedded parts and formwork — every collision between bars, meshes, ducts or fixings is flagged and highlighted before it reaches the site.
Model comparison Compare the current model, position by position, against a previous version or an incoming IFC file to see exactly what changed — geometry, cover or reinforcement — before sign-off.

Documentation.

Drawings, bar lists and quantities generated straight from the model — never redrawn, never out of date.

Automated shop drawings Formwork and reinforcement drawings, bar lists and bending schedules generate straight from the model, no redrawing after a change.
Quantity take-off Material lists and bar quantities update live with the model, ready for costing, ordering and production planning.
Production-ready output Export data directly to bending machines and mat-welding systems, plus detailed shop drawings in DWG / DXF and full 3D model export (IFC), so nothing gets re-entered by hand.

Why STRAKON

The best software for reinforced concrete design.

Up to 80% faster

Create formwork, reinforcement and shop drawings up to 80% faster than with manual CAD workflows — associative models eliminate redrawing and reduce errors, speeding up delivery at every stage.

Native BIM workflow

Work in 2D, 3D or both at once, and stay part of the wider BIM process with full IFC4 exchange — the structural model connects directly with architects, MEP and other project partners.

Automatic and synchronized workflow

Geometry, reinforcement, quantities and drawings all reference the same model — change one and every view, list and drawing updates in sync, with nothing to redo by hand.

Full Eurocode compliance

Reinforcement wizards for bars, stirrups and meshes are built to Eurocode 2 (EN 1992-1-1) rules, covering cover, spacing, lap and anchorage length automatically.

Complete 2D/3D control

Model cast-in-place, precast and semi-precast structures side by side, with full control over every element — from formwork and embedded parts to detailed 3D reinforcement.

Perpetual license, real support

A one-time license with no subscription drain, backed by hands-on training and support — built for teams who need the software to still be working the same way in ten years.

STRAKON is a CAD and BIM software solution for the structural design of reinforced concrete structures. It covers formwork, 2D and 3D reinforcement, precast elements and shop drawings inside one connected model. STRAKON is fully BIM compatible and combines seamlessly with modern software solutions, exchanging IFC4 models with tools like ArchiCAD, Revit and ALLPLAN.

STRAKON pairs a modern, uncluttered interface with a workflow built specifically for reinforced concrete — geometry, reinforcement, quantities and drawings all stay in sync automatically, so nothing has to be redrawn after a change. It's proven to be significantly faster than manual CAD workflows, with fewer errors and less rework.

STRAKON is also one of the leading structural design solutions in Germany and the surrounding countries, with a long track record of completed projects and years of real-world experience behind it.

STRAKON is offered under several licensing types — standalone, USB dongle and network licenses — so you can choose whatever fits your office setup. Licenses are perpetual, with no subscription drain, and STRAKON comes in at a noticeably lower cost than most competing solutions.

Please contact us and we'll put together an offer tailored to your needs.

Yes — STRAKON handles bridges and other complex structures alongside standard reinforced concrete work. It also offers dedicated semi-precast support, specializing in complex semi-precast composite elements such as double walls, solid walls and composite floor slabs.

Steel-to-concrete connections are just as straightforward: embed steel connection plates, angles and built-in parts directly into concrete slabs and beams, with automatic dimensioning carried through to the shop drawings.

Yes, we're glad to. We can showcase the software and walk through exactly how it can benefit your business. If you're interested, just let us know and we'll arrange a live remote session with your team.
