In the 2019.e version of CYPE software, its "suite" of urban infrastructure programs (Water Supply, Sewage, Electrification and Gas Supply) is included in the Open BIM workflow. From then on, the "suite" can be accessed, as it could until now, from the CYPE program menu (with its classic name); and as programs that can be downloaded from the "BIMserver.center" platform:
- CYPE Water Supply
Can be installed in Spanish, Catalan, French and Portuguese - Open BIM Sewage
Can be installed in Spanish, Catalan, French and Portuguese - CYPE Electrification
Can be installed in Spanish, Catalan and Portuguese - CYPE Gas Supply
Can be installed in Spanish, Catalan, English and Portuguese
Both versions of each type of infrastructure are the same tool, with the same way of working during the introduction, analysis, design and obtaining of the documentation of the installation. The only difference between the classic versions of the infrastructure programs and those that can be downloaded from the BIMserver.center platform, is that in the classic, the connection to a BIM model is optional and those of the BIMserver.center platform must be connected to a BIM model.
Some of the advantages of including the infrastructure programs in the Open BIM workflow are:
- Import the topographic model of the terrain
If an IFC4 file exists in the BIM model, which is located on the BIMserver.center that includes the data of the terrain in an entity of the type “IfcGeographicElement”. - Import the 3D view of other specialties
- Export the documents and 3D view of the installation to the BIM model
- Update the imported information of the BIM model
