New features of the 2016.n version
Seismic code of Guatemala (NSE – 10)
The help text of the section that explains that the estimated fundamental period of the structure is determined using simplified formulae, depending on the structural type, has been corrected due to errors published in the code; type E1 has been changed for E2 and vice-versa.
Introduction of trapezoidal loads on shells
Trapezoidal loads can now be introduced on shells.
Update of steel IMCA sections
The steel IMCA sections (Instituto Mexicano de la Construcción de Acero) included in the CYPE 3D section library have been updated.
General improvements
As well as the new features and improvements that are indicated explicitly in each CYPE software version update, these updates also include process optimisations which imply internal improvements of our programs. Systematic checks are carried out on all the programs in each revision, as well as changes which improve their operation. Therefore, we recommend all our users (in this case of the 2016 version) to always update their program version to the latest available version, regardless of the country CYPE software is being used for or the language in which the program is installed.
