-
- CYPECAD, CYPE 3D and Portal frame generator (Romanian standard SR EN 1993-1-3 and Indian standard IS 801 - 1975 (Rf 1995) for shaped steel);
-
- StruBIM Steel and CYPE Connect (Australian standards for anchors AS 3600: 2018 and AS 5216: 2021).
New MDC module – "Detailed model of plumbing systems" in CYPEPLUMBING
Version 2026.b includes the MDC module – "Detailed model of plumbing systems", for accurately modelling plumbing systems. This tool offers a complete breakdown of the systems, facilitating hydraulic design, the graphic representation of the system and obtaining the quantities and costs associated with the project.
Automatic layout of the drainage system in CYPEPLUMBING
Several new features have been added to CYPEPLUMBING that enable the automatic layout of pipes in different parts of the drainage system. The geometry generated can be adjusted and modified later by the user to adapt it to the project's needs. The generation options are located in the new "Generate" group, available in the top toolbar of the "Installation" tab (in "Sanitary Systems").
Grouping in the "Sanitary Systems" tab of CYPEPLUMBING
CYPEPLUMBING now includes the possibility of grouping by floors in the "Sanitary Systems" tab, both from the definition of floor plans for the project and through the "Assign" option in the edit menu. This feature enables the more efficient management of water drainage systems in projects with varying levels.
New thermal and acoustic analysis in CYPEHVAC ducts
CYPEHVAC now includes combined thermal and acoustic analysis in ducts. This feature can simultaneously evaluate the heat transfer and acoustic performance of the installation, displaying the results using colour maps that facilitate quick and intuitive interpretation of the system's overall performance.
Improvements in the insertion and editing of systems in CYPEHVAC
Entering systems in CYPEHVAC is now more intuitive thanks to new tools (extend/trim, regenerate and delete connections), improvements in tags, references and colour configuration.
Advanced design by systems in CYPEHVAC
As of version 2026.b, CYPEHVAC can configure the design by systems, choose between optimal or corrective designs, and apply specific criteria (speed, pressure, dimensions). In addition, the design of water emitters has been incorporated, expanding the analysis possibilities in projects.
