CYPE 3D

As of version 2026.a, CYPE 3D will include a modal vibration analysis module, an essential feature for evaluating how a structure responds to dynamic loads such as wind, traffic or earthquakes. The program carries out a modal analysis of the structure, showing detailed and visual results that optimise the design to ensure that it remains within acceptable limits.

As of version 2026.a, CYPE 3D will include the option of considering seismic action by means of a spectral modal analysis when launching a non-linear analysis. Non-linear combinations (NLC) involving seismic loads can be defined. Once the analyses have been carried out, we can consult the Justification of seismic action report, and view the groups of combinations generated and the results of the spectral modal analysis for each of them.

In CYPE 3D, a new interface has been implemented with a ribbon at the top, replacing the previous interface based on drop-down menus. This streamlines access to the different tools in the program and improves the user experience. The options visible in the ribbon depend on which tab is open.

New options have been implemented to configure the references of the elements (nodes, bars, parts and shells) according to the user's preference. In addition, the references of previously entered elements are maintained when deleting or adding new elements.

Two options are provided for automatic saving of the work (Configuration menu > Auto Save Options). Two modes can be activated individually or simultaneously: "Automatically save every ... minutes", which saves the job automatically every time an action occurs in the environment and the specified time interval elapses, and "Save after analysing or designing", which saves the job automatically if the structure is designed. Neither of the two options is activated by default, so users must activate the desired options.
