CYPE 3D

Slovenian national annex to Eurocode 8: Design of structures earthquake resistance. Part 1: General rules, seismic actions and rules for buildings.

Implemented in CYPECAD and CYPE 3D.

Reglamento INPRES - CIRSOC 103. Reglamento argentino para construcciones sismorresistentes. Parte I – Construcciones en general (2018).
Reglamento INPRES - CIRSOC 103. Reglamento argentino para construcciones sismorresistentes. Parte II – Construcciones de hormigón armado (2021).

Implemented in CYPECAD and CYPE 3D.

As of version 2024.c, the new "Generic" option has been added to the internal fixity of shells. This option allows you to define fixed, free or elastic displacements and rotations in local axes of the selected edge.

In version 2024.c the editing of the stiffness multiplying factors for the stiffness of the shells is implemented in CYPE 3D. The factors are assigned to a selection of shells.

In version 2024.c the orthotropic material for shells is implemented in CYPE 3D. This material, for example, is of interest for the analysis of structures with cross-laminated timber panels.

In version 2024.c rigid diaphragms have been implemented in CYPE 3D. The relative displacements between nodes belonging to the same rigid diaphragm are restricted. Therefore, each diaphragm can only rotate and move as a whole.

In the "Diaphragms" menu the following options can be found:

  • Edit
    Allows users to define and edit the diaphragms. Loads can be defined for each diaphragm. To do this, in the "Entered loads" table, users can select the loadcases, the load in the global "X" direction, the load in the global "Y" direction and the coordinates of the application point.
  • Assign
    Allows users to assign a diaphragm to a selection of nodes or shells. Furthermore, the assignment can be removed.
  • Generate by levels
    If levels have been defined, this tool generates a diaphragm for each level and assigns that diaphragm to all nodes in the level.

As of previous versions Metal 3D and the integrated 3D structures of CYPECAD generate detailed ultimate limit state check reports for steel (rolled, welded and cold-formed), aluminium and timber bars (Analysis > U.L.S. checks > select a bar). To identify the checks that fail or consult a specific check, users must run through the entire report.

Now, as of the 2013.k version (as has been done for columns and beams in CYPECAD), “Metal 3D” and “Integrated 3D structures of CYPECAD” include a detailed check and specific check for each U.L.S. check, which helps to speed up the verification procedure.

The top-half of the dialogue box that appears when users select the U.L.S. checks option from the Analysis menu, displays a table containing a list of all the checks that have been carried out. Users select the check to be consulted, which is then displayed in more detail in the bottom-half of the screen.

This dialogue box has the same properties as the dialogue box that appears when using the concrete beam editor, explained in detail, in the section on the Advanced beam editor of CYPECAD of this webpage.

All CYPE programs can be installed in their different versions (Professional Version, Evaluation Version, Campus Version, Temporary License). In previous versions, users could only choose the type of version to be installed from the classic CYPE menu.

As of version 2024.a, the selection of version types has been implemented in all CYPE programs on the BIMserver.center platform.

As of version 2024.d, this selection can be made during the installation of all CYPE programs, regardless of where they are downloaded.

In version 2024.b, the following predefined section series have been implemented:

  • NHBC UK Timber
    Timber sections.

  • SYS (Thai Standard)
    Steel sections for Thailand.

In versions prior to 2024.b, if the braced frame was not rectangular, a warning message was displayed and the job could not be analysed. In the help text on the analysis of tie rods, the method’s validity conditions are listed. Among the conditions, the following is mentioned:

"The diagonal forms part of a braced frame framing the four edges, or three, if the stiffening bars reach two exterior fixities. Additionally, each panel must form a rectangle (the four internal angles being right angles)."

As of version 2024.b, the warning indicating that the braced frame is not rectangular is still displayed, but the job is not prevented from being analysed. The aim is to let users analyse structures even if the frames are not rectangular, but a warning is displayed. When the frames are not rectangular due to slight variations in their angles, the result may be acceptable depending on the structure. 

However, if there are very deformed frames, the analysis is still blocked due to this warning. This situation will occur when the cut-off point between the tie rods is further from the midpoint than 10% of the tie rod length, or when the difference in tie rods is greater than 20%.

Norma sismorresistente para la ciudad de Managua (2021)

Implemented in CYPECAD and CYPE 3D.

Furthermore, the "Limit drift between floors due to seismic action" has been implemented in CYPECAD for this code. In version 2023.e, this limit was implemented for other seismic codes that were already in the program in that version. More information on the limit drift between floors due to seismic action can be found in this new feature.

"Specification for Structural Steel Buildings" (2022).

Implemented in:

  • CYPECAD and CYPE 3D for analysing and checking rolled and reinforced steel sections.
  • CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel for analysing and checking steel connections.
