New features of the 2016.c version

Code implementation. NEC-SE-DS 2014 (Ecuador)

Norma Ecuatoriana de la Construcción. Peligro sísmico. Diseño sismo resistente.

Implemented in CYPECAD and CYPE 3D.

As of the 2016.c version, users can opt, for this code, to use the design seismic spectrum defined by the code itself or a user-defined spectrum. For more information on which codes users can define the seismic spectrum for can be found in the "Seismic spectrum specified by users" section of the CYPECAD webpage. 

Other improvements

As well as the new features and improvements that are indicated explicitly in each CYPE software version update, these updates also include process optimisations which imply internal improvements of our programs. Systematic checks are carried out on all the programs in each revision, as well as changes which improve their operation. Therefore, we recommend all our users (in this case of the 2016 version) to always update their program version to the latest available version, regardless of the country CYPE software is being used for or the language in which the program is installed.
