In version 2025.b, a new reference plane positioning option has been implemented: "Defined by two bars". With this option, if the two selected bars are contained in the same plane, the reference plane will be created in the plane formed by the two local 'x' axes. When the bars are not contained in the same […]
In version 2025.b, an option to include shear lugs to baseplates has been implemented in the "Anchors" operation. In baseplates, particularly when shear forces are considerable and users prefer not to transfer them to the foundation via the bolts, a shear lug is often installed. This element consists of a steel section, welded to the […]
In version 2025.b the new "Contact relationship" operation has been implemented. This operation defines contact relationships between steel surfaces or between steel surfaces and concrete elements. When bolting plates together, the program already establishes these contact relationships automatically, as when anchoring a plate to a concrete element. This new operation can also be carried out […]
Version 2025.b of CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel includes the implementation of many new codes. In the “Implementing codes and improving their enforcement” section of the new features in version 2025.b, you can consult the standards included in all CYPE programs in this version. In CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel, the following have been included:
Up until version 2025.a, in order to paste information from the clipboard into the data entry tables, these tables needed to have several rows greater than or equal to that of the source table to be pasted. Therefore, only the information in the rows of the table was copied, without adding new ones. As of […]
Version 2025.a includes the following options and improvements to the operations tree: Drag and dropThis feature allows users to select, move and drop operations or groups of operations to another position. With this new tool, an operation can be moved to the desired position without having to go through the intermediate positions one by one. […]
As of version 2025.a, the CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel connection editors allow users to sort the list of operations including groups of operations. In the operation list options bar, there is a "New group" option for adding groups. This option adds a new empty operation group. When a group is selected, new operations are […]
The "Adjust bar" and "End plate" operations include a new option when defining welds: the choice between perimeter welding or parametric welding. Up until version 2024.f, welds were always placed parametrically on wings and webs, depending on the type of section. The new perimeter welding option will add welds along the entire contact area between […]
In version 2024.f, changes have been implemented in the finite element model of the connections compared to previous versions. For the stress/strain analysis, the new model incorporates an additional extension of the bars, which consists of a linear elastic plate system and a reduced number of elements. The extension allows users to consider the effect […]
In version 2024.f a new operation is implemented to add stiffeners between a plate and a circular hollow section. The stiffeners are arranged around the circular hollow section radially and parallel to the section axis. As well as the geometry of the stiffeners, users can define the number of these plates, which will be evenly […]
As of version 2024.f, the bolt and screw position table includes a new option to generate bolts radially by defining the number of bolts and the radius.
Up until version 2024.f, a circular plate could be defined by using the "Polygonal" option to create 2 or more curved sections. As of version 2024.f, the "Plate" operation includes the new "Circular" option. This new option allows users to define a circular plate more easily.
