Version 2026.c expands the international scope of CYPE programs with the implementation of new codes:
As of version 2026.b, project files are automatically associated with the corresponding CYPE app in the Windows environment. This means that you simply double-click on the file to open it directly in the appropriate program, without having to select it manually. This improvement streamlines the workflow and provides a smoother and more efficient user experience.
In CYPECAD, CYPE 3D and Foundation elements, it is now possible to define several stirrup sections, check the structural limit, and perform checks according to the CIRSOC 103 standard in Argentina.
The NLT module for tension-only bars has been extended to also include compression-only bars. This feature offers greater versatility in structural modelling.
CYPE 3D now connects to the Open BIM Database to incorporate intumescent mortars, and the fireproof coating reports and drawings have been improved, including the "Summary of fireproof coatings".
Version 2026.b expands the international scope of CYPE software with the implementation of new standards:
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.
It is now possible to consult the ground bearing pressure diagrams at the base of the footings in CYPECAD and CYPE 3D. As a result, the suitability of the solution adopted for the foundation can be assessed, as well as the distribution of loads on the ground and the behaviour of each footing.
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.
A new option has been added in the column editor that can be used to design the transverse reinforcement of all columns while maintaining the existing longitudinal reinforcement. The option, called "Trans. reinf. all", is available in the "Redesign" group.
