The 2013.k version arrives with a new module: Geothermal energy harvesting systems, integrated in the Air Conditioning tab of CYPECAD MEP. This new module has been conceived to design geothermal energy harvesting systems. Geothermal heat pump systems are geothermal systems with low enthalpy which use a heat pump and an energy harvesting system in the ground […]

A new module: Post-tensioned concrete slabs for buildings has been included in the 2013.j version of CYPECAD, which has been created to design the passive reinforcement of post-tensioned slabs before calculating the forces of the post-tensioned tendons (bonded or unbonded) and whose properties have been introduced by program users. Post-tensioned technology has different degrees of acceptance in […]

The program: Punching shear verification, located in the Structures group of the main CYPE program menu, carries out the Failure Limit State check for punching shear in flat slabs and waffle floor slabs with applied concentrated loads from rectangular or circular supports. The program allows user to check slabs with or without transverse punching shear reinforcement, taking into […]

Acoustic insulation in accordance with EN 12354 is a new module which has been implemented in the Acoustics tab of CYPECAD MEP. This module designs and verifies the acoustic insulation described in the EN 12354 (ISO 15712) codes, by taking into account: The Acoustics tab of CYPECAD MEP analyses the acoustic insulation in accordance with EN 12354 and […]

A new tool: Strut3D, has been incorporated in the 2013.e version of CYPECAD, Metal 3D and Foundation elements. Strut 3D checks foundation pile caps using a general calculation method in which the D regions of the reinforcement are analysed using a strut and tie model, in order to guarantee the structural requirements are met in accordance with the standards. The strut and tie model […]

The new module Collective protection systems generates the drawings of the collective protection systems of a job in CYPECAD. The 2012.a version of CYPECAD includes an extra tab at the bottom of the screen. Along with the other five tabs (Column Definition, Beam Definition, Results, Contour Maps and Deformed Shape), the Health and Safety tab has been […]

The aluminium extrusion process has the advantage that as well as being able to obtain standard transverse aluminium alloy sections, specific designs can also be obtained. As of previous versions, the program has allowed users to design structures using standard extruded aluminium sections, i.e. those that are usually found in a manufacturer’s catalogue. As of […]

The Advanced design of surface foundations module complements the Footings and Pile caps modules when these are used in CYPECAD. Allows for the design of foundations composed of footings and pile caps with special element intersections (strap and tie beam intersections), geometrical trimming of footings, and application of line, point and surface loads on footings, pile caps and strap and tie beams. […]

The Joints V. Flat trusses with hollow structural sections module for CYPECAD, its Integrated 3D structures and Metal 3D, carries out an automatic analysis and design of coplanar hollow structural section connections, like those which are usually provided in flat trusses. More information on this module can be found at: Joints V. Flat trusses with hollow structural sections.

The new module Joints IV. Bolted. Building frames with rolled and welded steel I sections allows for the automatic design and analysis of the most common type of bolted connections of rolled and welded steel I sections in CYPECAD, its Integrated 3D structures and Metal 3D. More information can be found in the Bolted connections of rolled and welded steel I sections […]

The new module: Joints III. Welded – Building frames with rolled and welded steel I sections allows CYPECAD, Metal 3D and the Integrated 3D structures of CYPECAD to carry out the automatic design of welded connections of common rolled and welded I steel sections in building frames. More information on the properties of this module can be […]

General information The CYPECAD Stairs module analyses and designs the reinforcement of stair slabs as isolated elements in the structure. Depending on the geometry, type and layout of the supports and the gravitational loads applied, the program determines the reactions on the main structure, which are translated into line loads and surface loads (for steps […]
