As of the 2020.b version, CYPECAD MEP can generate an IFC file containing the installations that have been introduced in the project, as well as the construction elements it has contained until now. This way, the installation that have been introduced in CYPECAD MEP can be integrated into a BIMserver.center project, and this information can be interpreted by other BIM applications such as "Open BIM Layout" and "Open BIM Model Checker", which are available from the BIMserver.center “Store”.
Users can indicate the entities of the model to be added to the file in the “3D Model” menu, in the “Export to IFC” format panel of CYPECAD MEP:
- Construction elements (implemented in previous versions)
The export file will include the architectural elements that have been defined in the project such as façades, partitions, floor slabs, roofs... - Installations (new as of the 2020.b version)
The export file will include the elements of the installations that have been defined in each tab of the program (thermal analysis, acoustic analysis, fire, sanitation...). Users can choose to only export the elements of the active tab or all the installations.
