Precast concrete optimization
for early design stages
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, Cimbra finds the optimal product configurations for you.
How Cimbra works
Create Your Mold Inventory
Create your custom molds library and decide which features (such as flange thickness or strand layout) can vary during the optimization process.
Define Your Project Objectives
Enter the project's spans and loading conditions and choose your preferred objective — whether that's weight, cost, depth, or carbon.
Optimize Across Products
Let Cimbra explore tens of thousands of configurations for you and find the optimal product configuration and concrete mix for each load case.
What Cimbra offers
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
Thanks to its advanced optimization capabilities, Cimbra generates optimized designs for multiple spans and load cases in a single run, enabling a faster decision-making at early design stages.
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.
Evaluate Across Objectives
Optimize for the objective that matters most — material weight, estimated cost, embodied carbon, or depth - and evaluate trade-offs across them all in the results dashboard.
Professional Reports
Export PDF structural reports with section drawings, reinforcement details, and verification tables. Ready for engineer review or client submission.
