In the connection analysis model, one of the bars is set as the load-bearing element, unless a baseplate has been defined. The remaining bars are connected to this element, on which the loads are applied. Up until version 2025.d, the bars connected to the load-bearing element had no external links, allowing users to define forces […]
In CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel version 2025.c, INDEX brand chemical anchors for concrete fixings have been incorporated as concrete fixing elements in baseplates. These elements are checked in accordance with the criteria in EN 1992-4:2018, based on the data provided in the ETAs (European Technical Assessment) of these anchors.
In version 2025.c of CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel, a new series of prestressed bolts, the EN 14399-4 series, has been added. This series can be saved in the element library from the "Import predefined data" icon in the prestressed bolt library.
In the load definition panel, version 2025.c includes the representation of loads in a 3D view. The loads defined in the selected load case shall be drawn for each bar in the connection.
In version 2025.c, CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel include the necessary tools to carry out the analysis of connections with dissipative elements. These tools can be used to design connections for earthquake-resistant structures in which energy dissipation is foreseen through the formation of plastic hinges, either in one of the elements of the connection or […]
In versions before 2025.b, the program had a library of anchor series and a library of anchor materials. These libraries did not specify the type of bar (corrugated bar, threaded rod, smooth bar, etc.). When the program checked straight anchors or anchors with 90° bends or 180° bends, these anchors were considered as corrugated bars […]
In CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel version 2025.b, there is now the possibility to use post-installed RAWLPLUG branded chemical anchors as concrete fixing elements in baseplates. These elements are checked according to the criteria of EN 1992-4:2018, based on the data provided in the ETAs (European Technical Assessment) of these anchors. The post-installed anchors incorporated […]
In version 2024.d, HILTI brand chemical and mechanical anchors for concrete fixings were incorporated into CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel. Now, in version 2025.b, the catalogue of HILTI anchors has been extended with the addition of HIT RE-500 V4 post-installed chemical anchors, with HAS-U A4 anchor rods. These elements are checked according to the criteria […]
In version 2025.b of CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel, a section with optional checks for anchors has been added to the "Check anchors" panel. This way, users can select which checks they need to carry out for the connection to be analysed. This new feature is available for all concrete codes that are implemented in […]
New types of headed anchors have been implemented. Corrugated bars and smooth bars can be finished with a square or circular plate welded on the end. For threaded rods, ends with a stop nut and plate, with or without a locknut, have been implemented. The head area is considered in the corresponding checks and the […]
In versions before 2025.b, baseplates or sections with anchors on one of their faces had to be fully supported over their entire surface. As of version 2025.b, connections where the slab is partially supported by the concrete element can be designed.
In versions before 2025.b of CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel, the selection of library elements (sections, materials, bolts, anchors, etc.) worked with two buttons. One contained the data to be used and could be modified; the other (represented by three dots) was used to obtain the library data. This method made it possible to modify […]
