- STRAKON allows you to quickly and economically design structures of any kind.
- STRAKON gives you the advantage that you can save countless work steps, allowing you to draw quicker and more conveniently. Using the function...
- "Pointer Command" (mouse movements), only 50% of your previous work steps are necessary;
- "SmartClick" (click function), you can take over the properties of an already existing element and select the relevant function, whereby 90% fewer work steps are necessary;
- "Quickbox" provides fast access to components, symbols, details, additional programs, hatching, built-in parts and clipboard contents etc. Double-clicking allows you to immediately use the desired function with the predefined properties, thereby saving 90% of the previous work steps.
- Use the extensive correction options to allow you to complete your projects really quickly.
- The extensive symbol library for approvals planning and execution planning relieves you of countless work steps.
- A catalogue of predefined component designs (formwork and reinforcement) is part of the STRAKON standard package. It can be individually expanded, allowing you to adapt the drawing program to suit your needs.
- Through Reference Views the amendments that you make in the starting drawing are immediately taken over into all sub-drawings. This enables you to maintain an overview even on very large projects and to automatically always keep the drawings up-to-date with the minimum of effort.
- The automatic layer assignment makes work easier for you because you can make recourse to an already existing structure as standard.
- STRAKON appeals to users due its very simple menu guidance, enabling you to concentrate on the actual work in hand. Consequently, you arrive quicker at the result and with fewer errors.
- With the help of Batch-plot in the "Publish" function, you can simultaneously save several files in PDF, HPGL, DWG and KON formats, giving a revolutionary time saving.
Since STRAKON offers the possibility of editing PDF, DWG, HPGL, TIFF, FEM, UNI, ERP, BVBS, MS Excel, MS Word and measurement data, data exchange is therefore no problem at all.
With STRAKON you can perform the DWG data exchange at the highest level. This is done to the complete fulfillment of the requirements of the regional building control office or highways department for instance. The optimum DWG data exchange with STRAKON allows you to use the advantages of a specialized system, without those involved in the project being disadvantaged by using DWG.
- The market leader in the field of reinforcement design offers you the security of decades of experience an continual further development.
- The associative reinforcement and the extensive correction functions enable drawings to be amended quickly and safely. The software automatically transfers any amendments to the relevant components, schedules, dimensions, datum levels etc. Since this is a main task these days, this will be an important aspect for you. You will be thrilled with this function.
- The impressive "AdHoc reinforcement" function allows reinforcement templates that you created yourself or that were supplied with the reinforcement to be selected from the QuickBox and placed in the drawing at the touch of a button, whereby complete reinforcement is automatically modified to suit the required size. This enables complex and individual reinforcement patterns to be quickly used and entered at the touch of a button.
- STRAKON offers a series of tools that allow you to check your work. For instance, thanks to the Count View laying check, you can verify whether you have drawn the reinforcement completely in the drawing. Why not take advantage of this design reliability?
- When designing the reinforcements with optimized steel quantities, STRAKON helps you even while inputting the required data. As a result, your economical structural design is supported by the program or even automatically solved.
- STRAKON offers you radial mesh laying and rebar laying as well as laying an area with round reinforcement of different radiuses. It therefore provides the ideal drawing platform for round building structures.
- With its ability to read-in AS values from FE programs such as Friedrich & Lochner, mb, InfoGraph, PCAE, Sofistik and Tornow etc., STRAKON makes interactive reinforcement design possible for you.
- Threaded connections are supported by the program, allowing you to concentrate on the more important matters.
- The application area of the CAD design software is very large and this makes it possible for your office to further develop and/or to adapt to suit the current order situation. STRAKON enables you to economically process all tasks relating to new buildings, conversions, structural design, formwork design, building construction, industrial construction, precast concrete construction, commercial buildings, residential buildings, bridge building etc.
- STRAKON not only offers 2D and 3D functions for solid construction, but the CAD software also enables the rational processing of steel construction projects. This gives the advantage that you can design and plan different tasks with the same program, while having maximum flexibility. You decide yourself how you want to work.
- The application area of STRAKON extends far beyond structural design, formwork design and reinforcement design.
- With STRAKON it is easy to read-in and edit measurement data.
- STRAKON is able to create, read in and process roadways, gradients, clothoids and polynomials. This enables you to economically construct traffic routes.
- The software supports working with world coordinates, allowing you to stay focused on the building location at all times.
- Spline functions, tangential functions or freehand lines allow you to draw individual elements.
- With STRAKON you can perform DWG data exchange at the highest level. This is done to the complete fulfillment of the requirements of the regional building control office or highways department for instance. The optimum DWG data exchange with STRAKON allows you to use the advantages of a specialized system, without those involved in the project being disadvantaged by using DWG.
- A special additional module can also support you in the planning and design of platform edges.
- STRAKONcube, the 3D design tool for your building structure, enables you to design projects in three-dimensions and gives you all dimensions and data at a glance.
- The completely redesigned, modern 3D calculation engine offers you a software with future.
- Benefit from the cost advantages of 3D design wherever you use it for the project. Combine 3D and 2D design so that you can economically process the project.
- Assign properties to the 3D objects in STRAKON from the start, so that these can then be conveniently evaluated.
- As an addition to solid construction, STRAKON provides intelligent support for steel construction design.
- The STEEL CONSTRUCTION Variants allows you - using great automatic functions - to quickly create raised platforms, columns from plant construction, frame corners, wind bracing for factory units/warehouses, foundations and butt joints, including typified connections and much more besides.
- The STEEL CONSTRUCTION Design provides excellent support when drawing steelwork structures (e.g. general arrangements, item drawings and construction drawings) and when evaluating schedules.
- You benefit from the excellent support of a well-drilled team of construction experts. Coming from a construction background, our customer service personnel are familiar with your day-to-day work and are happy to assist you in all your questions relating to the products and their usage.
- Your tasks are our tasks! When we are supporting you, we are also obtaining valuable information on what areas of our software still hold potential for improvement. This serves as a foundation for future innovations and a basis for maintaining market leadership.
