Two options have been implemented for adjusting a section or end plate "To the nearest face" or "To the furthest face" of sections. Up until version 2022.c, the part of the section we wished to adjust or connect (depending on the operation) had to be selected. With the new implemented options, the program will automatically […]
Version 2022.c implements the design and checking of connections in accordance with the following codes: ABNT NBR 8800:2008 (Brazil)"Projeto de estruturas de aço e de estruturas mistas de aço e concreto de edifícios". BS 5950-1 (United Kingdom)"Structural use of steelwork in building. Part 1". Código Estructural (Spain)"Código Estructural (Real Decreto 470/2021)". Along with the implementation […]
The dialogue boxes for editing the data of plate, bolt and electrode materials include the "Save as default options" option. As soon as they are saved, each new operation will be created with this default data. This option allows users to automatically fill in data that is often common to a connection or a project, […]
The analysis of bolted connections with prestressed bolts has been added. Up until version 2022.b, the design model for prestressed bolts and ordinary bolts did not change, although the sliding resistance check was carried out for prestressed bolts, in accordance with the selected code. The prestressed bolts will no longer transmit shear forces through the […]
A specific operation has been added for adding stiffeners to I-shaped and U-shaped cross sections. This operation adds the stiffeners and their welds to a section in a position that is relative to the flanges from another section and relative to the section’s local reference system. Options are included for selecting the side, slope, dimensions, […]
The AISC 360-16 (LRFD code has been implemented for analysing connections in accordance Eurocode 3 and Spanish code EAE. Specific resistance checks and the layout of prestressed bolts, ordinary bolts and welds have been implemented. For plates, the program will verify that the equivalent Von Mises deformation value does not exceed 5% (EN1993-1-5, Annex C, […]
Optimisations have been implemented in the connection analysis process. With these optimisations, the analysis time has been reduced by approximately 30% according to the tests carried out.
The connection summary report has been added. Connection elements, section loads, or the checks of sections, plates, fillet butt welds, and bolts can be displayed in a summarised form in this report. From the "Report" button in the main CYPE Connect Steel window, the report can also be generated with a summary of the nodes […]
In version 2022.a, a connection library has been added, allowing users to save defined connections so they can be applied to other nodes of the same or other jobs. This library is common to CYPE Connect Steel and StruBIM Steel. From the connection editing panel, users will have access to the added options: Import from […]
