The "Bar" operation includes a new option to position additional bars in the direction of another bar. This improvement makes it easier to align bars.

There is a new operation available: "Edit corners". This operation allows users to edit the corners of plates. Bevel, chamfer, notch, round and arc cuts can be defined. When the operation is added and the plate is selected, the corner indices are marked on the screen. A cut can be added to each corner of […]

Up until version 2023.e, the program could work with rectangular section timber bars (CYPE Connect) and double T, C, angle and rectangular hollow section steel sections (CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel). In version 2023.e, two new types of sections have been implemented for both CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel: These sections will be available both […]

Up until version 2023.e, sections and plates could be welded in either "Fillet" or "Lap" joint types. As of version 2023.e, welding the edges of plates as “butt” welds is also possible, i.e. the parallel edges of plates and sections can be joined end-to-end whether they are parallel or not.

In version 2023.e of CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel, post-installed mechanical anchors from the SPIT brand catalogue can now be used as concrete fixings in baseplates. The checking of these elements is carried out in accordance with the criteria in the EN 1992-4:2018 standard, based on the data provided in the corresponding ETA (European Technical […]

As of version 2023.e, users can now analyse the local buckling of joints in CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel. This new type of analysis is added to those already existing in previous versions: Stress/Strain and Rotational Stiffness. The local buckling analysis of joints in CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel is part of the "Buckling analysis […]

In version 2023.d, connection symbols are included in the "Drawing composition" in order to label the connections in the views of the structure. The connection symbol can be snapped with the "Tag" tool. The automatic tag will display the connection reference. The connection symbols will not be printed by default, however, users can manage this […]

Weld tags display information about the welds in the model. Tags can be fully edited once entered, however, when entering tags, users are given the option to display or hide the dimensions and length, if applicable.

As of version 2023.d, in the notes section, the automatic weld tag now includes the reference of the electrode used as long as it has been defined in the operation where the weld is generated.

As of version 2023.d, welds can be applied to the internal contours of openings. This improvement, together with the improvements in clash detection and opening introduction, allows users to design and size connections with fitted plates, bars crossing openings, etc.

Up until the current version, connections could be analysed when the openings in plates or sections were internal, i.e. when they were completely contained in the plates. As of version 2023.d, openings can now intersect with the edges of the plates.

Clash detection between plates and sections has been improved. In previous versions, clashes between plates were detected as those that occurred in areas where an opening was placed. As an opening has been provided, the program no longer considers them as clashes because they do not represent a real situation. This allows users to model […]
