Cimbra

Optimize precast designs before you bid

Cimbra saves you time and money by exploring thousands of designs in seconds within your existing mold and material inventory. Rather than checking for compliance, we optimize.

From span tables to optimized designs in minutes

1

Define Your Project

Evaluate products at the project scale. Enter spans and loading conditions, select molds and materials from your inventory, then optimize.

2

Optimize

Cimbra explores thousands of configurations against your mold and material inventories to find the best design for an objective you choose — whether that's weight, cost, depth, or carbon.

3

Bid with Confidence

Review ACI 318-19 verified results, compare designs across molds, and export professional reports — all before the bid deadline.

Built for precast manufacturers

Catalog-Based Optimization

Optimize against your actual mold inventory. Cimbra finds the best design within each mold's geometry constraints — so results map directly to what you can cast.

Multi-Span Projects

Define an entire project as a span table with varying lengths and loads. Get optimized designs for every span in a single run, ready for your bid package.

Full ACI 318-19 Verification

Every design is verified for flexure, shear, deflection, and serviceability stress. Full structural diagrams and code check tables included — no separate hand calcs needed.

Weight, Cost & Carbon Objectives

Optimize for the objective that matters most — material weight, estimated cost, or embodied carbon. Compare results across molds to find the best fit for your project.

Professional Reports

Export PDF structural reports with section drawings, reinforcement details, and verification tables. Ready for engineer review or client submission.
