Update history​​

CYPE 3D

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.

In version 2026.a the following codes have been implemented in the CYPE programs:

  • Concrete structures: BRITISH STANDARD BS 8110-1:1997 for Malaysia and Singapore in CYPECAD, CYPE 3D and Foundation elements.
  • Rolled and reinforced steel structures: ABNT NBR 8800:2024 for Brazil in CYPECAD, CYPE 3D and Portal frame generator.
  • Loads on structures. Wind loads: DPT 1311-50 for Thailand in CYPECAD.
  • Loads on structures. Seismic loads: DPT 1301/1302-61 for Thailand in CYPECAD and CYPE 3D.

 

Version 2025.d includes the option to select the calculation mode of the pile sinking resistance in the module "Piles I: Calculation of sinking load":

  • By indicating the "Geotechnical parameters" (available since previous version -2025.c)

  • By indicating the "Allowable bearing pressures"(implemented in version 2025.d)
    This option is used to calculate the pile considering the allowable bearing pressures defined in the geotechnical study. This feature also introduces the possibility to include the effect of "negative friction" by entering negative values.

This selection is made in the "Advanced setup" dialogue box (Job menu > General data > "Foundation elements with external fixity" option > "Advanced settings" option).

Norme Tecniche per le Construzioni NTC-2018.

Implemented in CYPECAD, CYPE 3D and Portal frame generator for checking rolled and reinforced steel sections.

As of CYPE 3D version 2025.d, the properties panel of the selected section includes information on its linear weight.

Until version 2025.d, the manufacturer section libraries were integrated directly into the program code.

As of version 2025.d, these section catalogues have been moved to the Open BIM Database.

This improvement makes it easier to incorporate catalogues from new manufacturers and allows for a more agile and efficient management of the updating and maintenance of existing catalogues.

Certain seismic codes require the fulfilment of the minimum base shear condition when applying the modal-spectral dynamic method for the analysis of the seismic action.

As of version 2025.d, the possibility of activating this check, already implemented in previous versions of CYPECAD, is also available in CYPE 3D.

CYPE 3D version 2025.d includes the implementation of codes for rolled and reinforced steel structures and seismic actions. In the "Implementing codes and improving their enforcement" section for the new features of version 2025.d, you can consult the codes included in all CYPE programs in this version.

The following have been included in CYPE 3D:

  • Rolled and reinforced steel structures
    • NTC-2018 (Italy)
  • Loads on structures. Seismic loads
    • NSCP 2015 (Philippines)
    • TBDY 2018 (Turkey)

Turkish Building Seismic Code.

Implemented in CYPECAD and CYPE 3D.

National Structural Code of the Philippines 2015. Volume 1: Buildings, towers and other vertical structures.

Implemented in CYPECAD and CYPE 3D.

As of version 2025.d, the "Project selection" window in the apps connected to BIMserver.center incorporates a new notification system to inform users about the latest new features on the platform.

This space displays relevant messages about new features, enhancements and recommendations related to BIMserver.center. In addition, direct links to documents, tutorials and additional resources will be included to facilitate the adoption of these new features.
