Editions and purchase
What is Structure Cube, and how is it related to MEIGONA?
Structure Cube is Windows software for support and hanger structural analysis, developed by Guangzhou MEIGONA Engineering Consulting Co., Ltd. (MEIGONA). It serves prefabricated and welded building-services supports, combining modelling, structural checks, material schedules and calculation reports. MEIGONA is the developer and service provider; Structure Cube is the software product.
What are the Free Edition limits?
Complete standard features use the same calculation logic and checking mechanisms as enterprise editions. You can adjust engineering loads and capacity parameters, customize material and accessory libraries, and configure CAD/Revit plug-ins yourself. Export unlimited watermarked PDFs, with no Word export. One account receives 12 free months from activation; assisted implementation and customization are not included.
What does Enterprise General cost, and how many accounts are included?
CNY 22,800 per set for up to 5 authorized accounts: a one-time purchase with perpetual use of the licensed version. Enterprise-native projects (.stce) allow unlimited Word and watermark-free PDF exports; free projects (.stcf) retain free-project export rights. CAD/Revit plug-ins are self-configured, with agreed training and support and no enterprise-specific customization. Includes 1 year of upgrades and maintenance.
How does Enterprise Custom differ from General?
Enterprise Custom is CNY 42,800 per set for up to 10 accounts. It uses the same standard calculation logic and checking mechanisms. Built on Enterprise General, it adds agreed enterprise library setup, branding, report templates, CAD/Revit adaptation, training, implementation and support. This is not unlimited customization; the formal agreement defines scope, duration and acceptance criteria. The licensed version is a one-time purchase for perpetual use, including 1 year of upgrades and maintenance; further custom-feature development, adaptation and maintenance follow the contract.
How long can I use Free Edition?
Free Edition V3.0.4 R6 is available for download and provides 12 free months from successful activation. The Build Together plan proposes 1,000 first-phase places. Participation arrangements and further free-renewal options follow formally published campaign rules; automatic renewal or permanent use is not promised.
How are places allocated in the Build Together plan?
The Build Together plan proposes 1,000 first-phase places. Opening arrangements, participation and allocation rules will be formally published; this page does not register places or show live availability. Free Edition V3.0.4 R6 is already available on the Downloads page, with 12 free months from successful activation.
Editions and purchasing
Must I renew every year to keep using an enterprise edition?
No. Enterprise General and Enterprise Custom are a one-time purchase for perpetual use of the licensed version. Both include 1 year of software upgrades and maintenance. Afterwards, annual maintenance is optional at CNY 5,000/year. Not renewing does not affect perpetual use of your already licensed version.
Further development, adaptation and maintenance of enterprise-specific custom features follow the contract.
Calculation and reports
Can Structure Cube calculate comprehensive seismic supports?
Currently not supported. Structure Cube V3.0.4 does not yet support comprehensive seismic-support calculation; its existing conventional support analysis cannot replace that specialized verification. This applies to the current Free and Enterprise General editions.
Does adding horizontal loads or braces complete seismic verification?
No. Conventional support-load input, bracing editing and comprehensive seismic-support verification are different capabilities. Adding horizontal forces, braces or fictitious restraints does not turn the current conventional calculation into supported specialized seismic verification.
Which examples can I view?
The current demonstrations follow self-built prefabricated and welded teaching cases through modelling, pipe loads, results and report excerpts. Check supported scope against the release, structural conditions and actual delivery. Teaching cases are not customer projects or engineering validation.
Are Chinese and English reports supported?
The prefabricated and welded demonstrations each show actual Chinese and English excerpts from the same self-built teaching case: cover, design basis and structural arrangement. Supply translations for user-entered names, and check other fields and modules in the actual export.
Can I use my own organization on the cover?
Use the actual authoring organization, author and reviewer for the project; the general-purpose cover does not substitute the software vendor. Free Edition PDFs retain a Free-edition watermark. Replace all example details before export.
Can I download complete calculation reports?
The website shows cover, design-basis and structural-arrangement excerpts from the same self-built teaching case; complete project reports are not downloadable. Free Edition allows unlimited watermarked PDF exports, with no Word. Enterprise-native projects (.stce) use enterprise rights for unlimited Word and watermark-free PDF exports. Free projects (.stcf) retain watermarked-PDF-only output even in an enterprise edition; Word remains unavailable. The user organization reviews and delivers formal reports.
Does a completed example prove a project is valid?
No. Examples demonstrate saving, reopening and calculation. Project conclusions require professional review against actual inputs, project conditions and adopted standards.
Is there a PDF export limit in Free Edition?
Free Edition allows unlimited watermarked PDF exports during valid authorization, with no Word export. Unlimited exports do not extend the free usage period or promise permanent free access.
Does opening a free project in an enterprise edition remove export restrictions?
Free projects (.stcf) retain watermarked-PDF-only output even when opened in an enterprise edition; Word export remains unavailable. Enterprise-native projects (.stce) use enterprise export rights.
CAD/Revit and enterprise adaptation
How do the main application and CAD/Revit plug-ins work together?
The main application handles support modelling, loads, analysis and reports. CAD/Revit plug-ins exchange data with their respective hosts. All editions include plug-ins: Free Edition and Enterprise General are self-configured; Enterprise Custom includes agreed adaptation services. Confirm host versions, transfer content and scope before deployment.
CAD offers Import settings, Pipe picking and Transfer in the Structure Cube ribbon. Revit offers General settings, One-click calculation and Information extraction in its Structure Cube tab. Candidates, review items and transfer receipts are not passed structural checks; review adopted values and calculate in the main application.
Do CAD/Revit plug-ins support every host version?
Compatibility with every host version or real-time two-way synchronization is not promised. Free Edition and Enterprise General include self-configured plug-ins; Enterprise Custom offers adaptation within the agreed scope. Verify host versions, transferred content and results in the applicable environment.
How is custom work scoped?
Define component catalogues, fields, branding, report layouts, CAD/Revit versions and transfer needs, then agree deliverables and acceptance. Custom service does not include unlimited changes; additional work is scoped separately.
What should I prepare for an adaptation discussion?
Prepare component catalogues, fields, CAD/Revit versions, transfer content and direction, account counts and deliverables. Use self-built or authorized sanitized data, and list the examples and criteria you want to test.
Downloads and contact
Can I download and install it now?
Free Edition V3.0.4 R6 is available on the Downloads page. Enterprise General is not yet open for download. Request a demonstration for enterprise use or custom requirements; delivery scope is agreed separately.
Which version is shown?
Current product information is maintained for V3.0.4; captures retain their actual recorded release and edition. Check the loaded connector and companion application separately. Installer release status is shown in Downloads and tutorials.
Can I purchase online?
This website does not offer online payment or online license purchases. Prepare your account count, product library and delivery requirements for enterprise procurement; the formal contract defines entitlements.
How does a local requirements brief differ from a demo request?
Save a local requirements brief on the Contact page creates a text file in your browser without submitting it online; send it yourself afterwards. Do not include customer secrets, production licenses, internal models or databases.
The Request a demo page submits the contact details and demo requirements you consent to provide to MEIGONA, so arrangements can be discussed and confirmed. It does not confirm a time slot. Demo-request information is not added to Xiaoan knowledge or model context; see the Privacy notice for processing details.
About the demonstrations
Are the software images real?
Software captures use reference V3.0.4 interface controls and self-built data rendered in isolation, rather than concept interfaces. They do not establish complete testing inside CAD/Revit. Architectural and structural imagery is labelled separately.
Are these customer projects?
No. The demonstrations use independently created data, not customer projects, and do not imply customer adoption or project outcomes.
