CYPECAD version 2025.a includes the following program improvements and corrections for some specific cases:
- The display of the geometry of the beams in 3D and their export has been improved. Several cases have been solved where they overlapped with columns. This is still done in cases where the beam has a part that is not in contact with the column.
- The "Edit groups-Construction process" has been improved. Now, when selecting more than one group in the list, the edited values in all selected groups are modified.
- An error that could occur after moving columns with fanned-out studs as punching shear reinforcement if the layout of the studs in the new position could not be obtained, has been fixed. Now, in this case, the definition segment marked in red is shown.
- The "Groups-Copy group elements" option has been improved. Previously, if any elements were entered via "Edit resources", they were copied even if the "Copy edit resources" option was not selected.
- An error that occurred when performing the punching shear checks in a case where beams failed to intersect near the support has been fixed.
- An error that occurred in the process of obtaining the centre of stiffness and the centre of masses when analysing a job with an integrated 3D structure in which rigid diaphragms are defined, has been solved.
- An error in the design of footings has been fixed. This could occur in the case of a rectangular footing when "Make square" was selected in "Direction of growth".
- There has been an improvement in the entry of editing features in the beam portal frame editor.
- The elements of the portal frame can now be snapped.
- An error that occurred when a concrete wall was inserted and this generated a new panel, if the wall had the "Shear wall" option checked, has been fixed.
- An error that systematically occurred when obtaining the force report for composite slabs has been fixed. This error occurred in version 2024.f due to changes made in the generation of reports.
- The time for generating the bars of beam portal frame reinforcement for the 3D view with detailing and for exporting this reinforcement has been significantly reduced. In future patches, the time for generating the bars of other types of elements will also be reduced.
