Version 2027.a comes with a new module for non-linear static pushover analysis in CYPE 3D. This module can assess the performance of structures by identifying weaknesses (the formation of plastic hinges), deriving the capacity curve and determining the seismic performance point.
To use this feature, the license must include the "Pushover analysis" and "OpenSees" modules.
In version 2027.a, the CYPECAD, CYPE 3D, and Foundation elements programs now include micropile verification for deep foundations.
The new "Pile module IV: Structural verification of micropiles" complements the design of this type of foundation, enabling the structural safety of micropiles to be verified in accordance with the criteria established in the relevant design and analysis guides.
Version 2027.a includes elastic second-order analysis in CYPE 3D. This new feature enables accounting for second-order effects (P-δ and P-Δ) arising from geometric non-linearity in "Stress/Strain", "Modal" and "Pushover" analyses.
To use this feature, the license must include the "OpenSees" module.
The 2027.a version of the beam editor in CYPECAD and CYPE 3D includes a new ribbon interface at the top of the screen, replacing the previous drop-down menu-based interface. This streamlines access to the software’s various tools and enhances the overall user experience.
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.
