KonCAD is an interactive Computer Aided Designing software focusing on prototyping, rendering and analyzing structural details of DNA Origami structures with complex curvatures.
KonCAD initially asks the end-user needs to input the type and size of the structure they wish to study. For example, if the user wishes to generate or study concentric rings, they would be asked to enter the radius of the outermost ring, or if the user wishes to generate concentric square frames, they would be asked the length of the outermost frame they wish to render.
Once the user provides these details, an interactive console details the analysis of the structure. The user is provided with structural details as well as a stability analysis of the structure, like number of base pairs in each ring, size of each ring, total number of scaffold used etc.
Currently, the software supports rendering and analysis of only 2 Dimensional DNA Origami structures with complex curvatures.
Features
The software has been thoroughly tested and all the validations and calculations seem to be in place. However, in case of any bug or feature request, do feel free to contact either of us, the developers.

Enter the radius of the outer-most ring of the desired Concentric ring structure
The radius of the outer ring that you specify might be altered by +-1.29 nm in order to improve the stability of the design.

The Radius of the outer-most ring that you entered is nm. The Radius has been modified to nm. The Number of rings which can fit into the structure is . The total size of scaffold used by your structure is bps. The number of base-pairs of M13 left unused are bps.
