Version 2027.a expands the international reach of CYPE programs through the implementation of new standards:
As of version 2027.a, all StruBIM Steel features have been integrated into CYPE Connect, resulting in a single, more comprehensive, efficient and consistent solution. The new CYPE Connect environment can generate the graphic documentation for the structure, including both connection details and views of the entire structure.
The new version of CYPE Connect includes two work modes, "Project" and "Fabrication", designed to meet users’ needs at different stages of the structural design process. The "Project" mode is aimed at technical documentation specific to the structural design, whilst the "Fabrication" mode focuses on technical documentation for workshop fabrication and on-site assembly processes.
As of version 2027.a, CYPE Connect now features a library of predefined connections in the cloud, ensuring that it is constantly updated and providing immediate access to new connection types. This feature makes it easier to model connections using ready-to-use parametric solutions, saving time and simplifying day-to-day work.
The "Generate" tool has been enhanced in this version, incorporating new features that streamline the process of defining connections. In addition to enabling the automatic generation of nodes based on the model’s geometry, it can now automatically define the associated connections.
Operation group parameterisation has been incorporated, allowing you to define customisable variables that automatically control the parameters of each operation. This facilitates the creation of reusable configurations that are more flexible and adaptable, reducing modelling time and improving efficiency when defining connections.
Version 2027.a includes several improvements and fixes for CYPECAD and CYPE Connect, including performance optimisations, usability improvements, new features and the resolution of issues reported by users. For further details, please click the "Details" button.

Version 2027.a of CYPECAD includes the following improvements and corrections for some specific cases:
CYPE Connect
Version 2027.a of CYPE Connect includes the following improvements and new features:
The part references of a section are now displayed in the 3D view when using connection editing operations. This numbering system facilitates the location and selection of the corresponding elements.
It is now possible to define more than one bar with the "Bearing" property within the same connection.
New section types have been implemented and are now supported by the connection editor: reinforced box section, double-webbed box section with plates, and double-T section with side plates.
Two new tools have been implemented to add or remove sections from a connection.
As of version 2027.a, the new CYPETHERM program incorporates the features of the CYPETHERM EPlus, CYPETHERM SCE-CS Plus, CYPETHERM SCE-HAB Model, CYPETHERM RE2020 and CYPETHERM LOADS apps.
French energy regulations have been implemented in the energy analysis programs CYPETHERM RE2020 and ELODIE by CYPE. Furthermore, CYPETHERM RE2020 now includes the Titre V procedure of the RE2020 regulations for NIBE, enabling technical solutions recognised under this official procedure to be incorporated into the analyses.
Version 2027.a now includes the integration of the PVGIS API into CYPE PV Systems for analysing energy production in photovoltaic systems. The analysis method can now be selected between the IDAE methodology, which allows solar parameters to be entered manually without the need for an internet connection, and PVGIS, which automatically retrieves solar radiation data from the official database developed by the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC).
CYPE PV Systems now has a new feature that simulates the sun's path over the site throughout the year, enabling users to assess the impact of surrounding shadows on the photovoltaic installation.
Generic libraries are loaded automatically when CYPEHVAC is launched, eliminating intermediate steps and reducing the number of clicks required to start working.
CYPELUX’s “Automatic layout” tool now allows you to define the reference plane relative to the ceiling, making it easier to position recessed lights in ceilings of varying heights automatically.
CYPEPLUMBING has added a new tool to the “Edit” panel for creating and managing customised layers, which are added as a new section in the “Layer configuration” side panel. This feature can be used to add or remove elements from each layer individually, controlling how they are displayed and snapped in the model.
The hydraulic network design tool in CYPEFIRE Hydraulic Systems has been updated. As of version 2027.a, a topological analysis of the networks entered is carried out. Thanks to this analysis, the program can create an exclusive supply graph that determines the number of consumption points supplied for each pipe in the network and calculates the optimal pipe size to meet regulatory requirements.
The mapping of spaces and equipment imported from the BIM model has been improved. The program can now assign new properties to spaces imported from the IFC file in the data import wizard. Furthermore, it is possible to generate fire protection equipment imported from the BIM model, such as fire hose reels, and outlets or inlets for dry and/or wet risers.
A new tool has been added to the "Diagrams" tab for the automatic generation of fire protection system diagrams. This feature allows you to automatically generate a diagram of the fire extinguishing system on a sheet in the appropriate format.
Processes have been implemented for the initial generation of vertical passages, booster sets and tanks, and for the generation of manifolds to enable the automatic connection between components of sprinkler systems, fire hose reels, and wet and dry risers, using new tools available in the "Generation" section.
