DICAD is the market leader in the field of CAD design software for construction engineering and precast concrete construction.
For over 25 years, we have been supporting companies worldwide in the field of construction engineering design, formwork design and reinforcement design with our CAD design engineering system, STRAKON. As a result, DICAD offers you the security of decades of experience and continuous further development. This definitive software, STRAKON, is available in the following versions, STRAKONpremium, STRAKONstandard and STRAKONlight, and in English, German, French, Polish and Spanish.
STRAKON offers you the following advantages:
Up to 90% fewer mouse clicks - allowing you to work more economically
STRAKON offers countless functions that allow you to omit many of the work steps that were previously necessary and therefore to draw faster. The functions give the following savings:
- "Pointer Command" saves you 50% of the mouse clicks previously necessary
- "SmartClick" saves you 90% of the mouse clicks previously necessary
- "QuickBox" saves you 90% of the mouse clicks previously necessary
Delivers fast results
The STRAKON CAD program allows a result-orientated project processing right from the start. This has the advantage that you can very quickly make your results available to all involved in the project in the form of drawings, schedules or drawing sections as paper plots or as digital files in the following formats: PDF, DWG, HPGL, TIFF etc.
Wide application area
STRAKON offers a very wide application area and therefore gives the advantage that your office can further develop dynamically. The CAD design software 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.
Maximum safety
STRAKON offers countless tools that allow you to check your inputs at any time. For instance, with the help of the Count View laying check, you can verify whether you have drawn the reinforcement completely in the drawing. Reliable design work is therefore always guaranteed.
Error-free work with a clear overview
To allow the user to concentrate on the actual work in hand, the menu guidance in STRAKON has been reduced to the essentials. In addition, the software also offers numerous possibilities for checking all inputs at any time and can even automatically perform some corrections to the relevant components and schedules. All in all, this considerably reduces the amount of errors and makes the inspection work of the structural safety engineer almost a formality.
Economical reinforcement design
When designing the reinforcements with optimized steel quantities, STRAKON helps you right from the input stage. As a result, economical structural design is supported by the program or even automatically solved.
1:1 DWG data exchange
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.
Easy to learn
All functions can be used to the same extent in all areas of the software, making STRAKON user-friendly and quick to learn.
Install and get going
STRAKON is immediately ready to use. Plus, built-in parts catalogues (HALFEN, DEHA etc.), symbol catalogues, details, macros, reinforcement patterns etc. are all provided for you as standard - so you can immediately see for yourself just how useful the software is.
Several editors working a project at the same time
With STRAKON you can have several employees all working in a network on the same project at the same time. This gives the advantage that you can perform very effectively within your own company and also with the support of suppliers.
Plan views very easy to enter
Even when you only have incomplete data (i.e. you just have a site measurement on which to base the design), all plan views can be entered quickly and easily with STRAKON.
2D / 3D / BIM
STRAKON gives you the option of designing with two-dimensional or even three-dimensional drawings. Depending on the project requirements, you can work with the excellent 2D design modules or use the advantages of the innovative 3D design. This means that with our software you have a true all-round tool at your disposal and you decide yourself how you want to work.
Faster, more solution-orientated service
A well-drilled team of experienced construction experts offers you their assistance in all matters relating to the product. This gives you the advantage of excellent support and gives us the chance to find out what you want - because your requests are our basis for ongoing product development.
Current international standards
STRAKON supports you by automatically using the most common standards. EC2 is integrated with amendments from 2010, DIN 1045-1, SIA, BAEL, NB...
Work economically
STRAKON is specialized in structural design, formwork design and reinforcement design. For this reason, when using this software, you will be able to design more projects than before with the same amount of staff in the design office. This means that the program will very soon pay for itself and start increasing your profits.
Extensive symbols libraries
