Novità della versione 2014.e
Code implementation and improvements in its application. NCh433.Of1996 Mod.2009 (Dºnº61. de 2011) (Chile)
Norma Chilena Oficial. Diseño Sísmico de Edificios.
This code was already implemented as of previous versions in CYPECAD and Metal 3D for the dynamic analysis method (modal spectral) – including the modifications of Decree nº61 (V. and U.) of 2011.
The 2014.e version of CYPECAD also includes a static analysis method (equivalent lateral force) for this code. Users can select the analysis method (dynamic or static) using the Analysis method option within the dialogue box in which seismic action is defined.
CYPECAD has carried out the correction due to base shear using the dynamic analysis method (spectral modal) since the 2013.a version.
Seismic analysis with cracked inertias
CYPECAD reduces the inertia of the concrete elements in seismic analyses and only for seismic loadcases, when the codes indicated below are applied. The codes that are implemented in the program which include seismic analyses using cracked inertias are:
- CIRSOC 103-2005 (Argentina)
Normas Argentinas para Construcción Sismorresistente. Parte II: Construcciones de Hormigón Armado. - CSCR 2010 (Costa Rica)
Código Sismo de Costa Rica 2010. - NEC-11 (Ecuador)
Norma ecuatoriana de la construcción. Capítulo 2.- Peligro sísmico y requisitos de diseño. - R-001 2011 (Dominican Republic)

Layout plan with view from above or below the floor slab
Two new options have been included to represent the layout plan seen from above or below the floor slab.
Advanced beam editor. Plan view to select a frame
A plan view of the current floor is displayed in the “View” section on the left side menu of the advanced beam editor. Users can use the view to select a different frame to edit by clicking on the frame with the left mouse button.
Please recall it has been possible, since previous versions, to change groups and frames by selecting them in the drop-down menus next to the “Group” and “Frame” texts that appear in the same “View” section.
Optimisation of the time required to generate the Detailing of columns plan
The generation process of the “Detailing of columns” plan has been optimised internally, substantially reducing the time required to create it.
Implementation of the following codes in Strut3D: CIRSOC 201-2005 (Argentina), IS 456: 2000 (India) and NTC: 14-01-2008 (Italy)
The tool, Strut3D, was implemented in the 2013.e version, which allows users to check (in CYPECAD and Metal 3D – for the pile caps module -, and in Foundation elements) pile caps using a general analysis method that analyses the D regions of reinforced concrete using a strut and tie method This tool was only available for use with the EHE 08 concrete code (Spain). In the 2014.b version, the ACI 318M-08 (USA), Nch430.Of2008 (Chile), NTE E.060: 2009 (Peru) and NSR-10 (Columbia) concrete codes were implemented in Strut3D. In the 2014.d version the ABNT NBR 6118 2007 (Brazil), ABNT NBR 6118 Projeto Junho 2013 (Brazil) and Eurocode 2 (EU, France and Portugal) were added.
Now, with the 2014.e version, the following concrete codes have been implemented in Strut3D:
- CIRSOC 201-2005 (Argentina)
Reglamento Argentino de Estructuras de Hormigón CIRSOC 201 (Julio 2005). - IS 456: 2000 (India)
Indian Standard. Plain and reinforced concrete code of practice (Fourth Revision). - NTC: 14-01-2008 (Italy)

New library of cold-formed sections: “Profil du Futur” of ARVAL (ArcelorMittal)
A new library of cold-formed sections, Profil du Futur of ARVAL (ArcelorMittal), has been included in CYPECAD and Metal 3D.
This library includes the following cold-formed section series:
- Profilé U (simple cold-formed U)
- Profilé CE (stiffened cold-formed U)
- Cornière L (symmetrical cold-formed angle)
- Oméga (Omega inclined along external edge)
- SIGMA (Channel with stiffened web)
