In this version, the generation of structural drawings with an actual profile has been improved. The new implemented technique (multithreading) has reduced generation time by up to 90% (depending on the configuration of your computer) and also increases the robustness of the generation process.
Furthermore, both welds and bolts of the modelled connections can now be included in this type of drawing.
The Polish National Annex to Eurocode 3 ("Design of steel structures - Part 1-8: Design of joints") for the design of joints in steel structures has been implemented into the following programs:
Spanish code "Código estructural" (Real Decreto 470/2021) has been implemented for analysing and designing rolled and built-up section steel structures in CYPECAD and CYPE 3D.
In the previous version (2022.c), it was already implemented in CYPECAD, CYPE 3D, Reinforced concrete cantilever walls, and Embedded retaining walls, for analysing and designing concrete structures; and in CYPE Connect Steel and StruBIM Steel for designing and checking steel connections.
Polish National Annex to Eurocode 3 (Design of steel structures - Part 1-1: General rules and rules for buildings).
Implemented in CYPECAD and CYPE 3D.
"Normas Técnicas Complementarias Para Diseño y Construcción de Estructuras de Acero (Ciudad de México, 2020)".
Implemented in CYPECAD and CYPE 3D.
Polish National Annex to Eurocode 3 (Design of steel structures - Part 1-3: General rules - Supplementary rules for cold-formed members and sheeting).
Implemented in CYPECAD and CYPE 3D.
In contour plots, the values of the stress scale are displayed in kp/cm2 for the MKS system.
As of version 2022.f, CYPECAD and CYPE 3D allow the critical temperature of steel sections to be obtained for fire situations. The value of the temperature that each section must reach for collapse to occur is calculated by means of an iterative procedure, taking into account the combinations established by the code selected for the fire situation as well as the mechanical properties of the steel at elevated temperatures.
The results can be checked on screen, or in a summary table that includes the critical temperature and the shape factor corresponding to each of the structure's sections. This facilitates the use of catalogues of manufacturers of intumescent paint in order to obtain the thickness necessary to ensure that the load bearing capacity of the structure is maintained for the time required by the applicable fire code.
Since the critical temperature value of a section depends on the demand capacity ratio or demand factor of the section, this new feature is an excellent tool for optimising the total cost of the structure including its passive protection for the required fire resistance time.
