As of the 2018.g version, CYPESOUND (in English), CYPESOUND CTE (in Spanish), CYPESOUND RRAE (in Portuguese) and CYPESOUND DRAPDE (in Italian) are capable of reading and interpreting correctly indoor sound sources that have been defined in the BIM model. This was already being carried out for terminal elements of air conditioning ducts such as grilles and diffusers.
The IFC entities that are recognised by the application, and can be exported to the BIM project by other Open BIM programs of CYPE, include:
- Bathtubs and showers. These objects, together with the remaining sanitary equipment, can be introduced using the free BIM modeller, IFC Builder.
- VRF, Multi-split and Split 1x1 systems. The same way grilles and diffusers can be introduced in CYPETHERM HVAC.
- Terminal air conditioning duct elements (available as of the 2017.e version). This consists of grilles and diffusers. To insert these devices, the BIM program for design of air conditioning installations can be used: CYPETHERM HVAC.
During the import of the BIM model, the application automatically calculates the directivity factor (D) and the radius of the greatest sphere that can be inscribed in the space (r) for each source.
Sound sources can also be imported from the BIM model using this version of AcoubatBIM by CYPE.
