As of the 2015.a version, Metal 3D (whose name depended on the language in which it was installed) is now called CYPE 3D regardless of the language in which it is installed.

Code implementation. ABNT NBR 6118:2014 (Brazil)
Norma Brasileira ABNT NBR 6118 (2014). Projeto de estruturas de concreto – Procedimento.
Implemented in CYPECAD, CYPE 3D (Metal 3D), Punching shear verification, Stairs, Flat slabs, Corbels, Great depth beams, Foundation elements and Continuous beams.

Code implementation. NTDS. Norma Técnica para Diseño por Sismo (El Salvador)
Norma Técnica para Diseño por Sísmico (El Salvador)
Implemented in CYPECAD and Metal 3D.
The 2014.i version includes in CYPECAD:
- A static analysis method (equivalent lateral force)
The analysis method selection (dynamic or static) is carried out using the Analysis method option within the dialogue box where the seismic load is defined. - Correction due to base shear
This correction is applied to the seismic analysis using the dynamic analysis (spectral modal) method. To calculate the base shear with the ABNT NBR 15421:2006 code, CYPECAD offers two options for users to indicate the Fundamental period of the structure in two ways:
- Based on the code
- Specified by the user
More information on the correction due to base shear carried out by CYPECAD .

Improved code application. L and Z cold-formed sections for AISI/NASPEC-2007 (LRFD) (USA), AISI/NASPEC-2007 (LRFD) (Mexico) and CAN/CSA S136-07 (Canada)
- AISI/NASPEC-2007 (LRFD) (USA)
North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members. - AISI/NASPEC-2007 (LRFD) (México)
North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members. S136-07 Endorsed in Mexico by CANACERO. - CAN/CSA S136-07 (Canadá)
North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members. Approved in Canada by the Canadian Standards Association CSA.
These design standards were already implemented in CYPECAD and Metal 3D. As of the 2014.i version, the program implements the design of L and Z-shaped cold-formed sections.

Code implementation. SP 63.13330.2012 (Russia)
Concrete and reinforced concrete. Construction. Updated edition SNIP 52-01-2003. Moscow 2012.
Implemented in CYPECAD, Metal 3D and Continuous beams.
For this code, CYPECAD, Metal 3D and Continuous beams allow for:
- Additional loadcases to be added for special frost loads.
- A percentage of the load to be defined as long-term loading, for live load and snow loadcases.
- The advanced beam editor (CYPECAD) to be used
- The advanced column editor (CYPECAD) to be used
If the Russian concrete code is used together with its corresponding seismic code (СНиП II-7-81 – implemented in the 2014.b version), the ductility reinforcement criteria and capacity design criteria for bending of concrete columns are taken into account.

New library of cold-formed sections: “Profil du Futur” of ARVAL (ArcelorMittal)
A new library of cold-formed sections, Profil du Futur of ARVAL (ArcelorMittal), has been included in CYPECAD and Metal 3D.
This library includes the following cold-formed section series:
- Profilé U (simple cold-formed U)
- Profilé CE (stiffened cold-formed U)
- Cornière L (symmetrical cold-formed angle)
- Oméga (Omega inclined along external edge)
- SIGMA (Channel with stiffened web)

Code implementation. CHOC-08 (Honduras)
Código Hondureño de la Construcción. Normas Técnicas. Capítulo 1. Cargas y fuerzas estructurales. Diseño por Sismo
Implemented in CYPECAD and Metal 3D.
The dynamic analysis method (spectral modal) or static analysis method (equivalent lateral force) proposed by the CHOC-08 can be selected in both programs. The analysis method (dynamic or static) can be selected using the Analysis method option in the dialogue box in which the seismic action is defined.
When the seismic design is carried out using the dynamic analysis method (modal spectral), CYPECAD considers the correction due to base shear.
