CYPE 3D

Composite sections made up of simple sections which are already implemented can be used with the following codes: AISI/NASPEC-2007 (LFRD) (USA), AISI/NASPEC-2007 (LFRD) (Mexico) and CAN/CSA S136-07 (Canada) (as of the 2011.a version). The simple sections and their corresponding composition to create composite sections are:

  • For simple cold-formed C and stiffened cold-formed C sections:
    • Double welded in a box
    • Double in a box with batten plates
    • Double in a box with generic joint

CPE INEN 5:2001 (Ecuador)
Construction code of Ecuador
General Design Requirements: Seismic danger, Design Spectrum and Minimum Calculation Requirements for Seismic-Resistant Design.
Implemented in CYPECAD and Metal 3D (as of the 2011.a version).

  • 2011.a

As of the 2011.a version, the 3D views of CYPECAD and Metal 3D contain a new option which displays elements with textures resembling the real colours of the material they are made out of. The user can choose to represent the 3D view with or without the materials:

  • Without materials
    Displays the materials that existed until now, which differentiated the elements of the 3D view, even if they consisted of the same material.
  • With materials
    Displays the elements of the 3d view with textures which resemble their real colours.

The Advanced design of surface foundations module complements the Footings and Pile caps modules when these are used in CYPECAD. Allows for the design of foundations composed of footings and pile caps with special element intersections (strap and tie beam intersections), geometrical trimming of footings, and application of line, point and surface loads on footings, pile caps and strap and tie beams. In the case of Metal 3D, this module only allows for trimming of the footing geometry to be carried out.

More information on this module can be found at:  Advanced design of surface foundations

The Joints V. Flat trusses with hollow structural sections module for CYPECAD, its Integrated 3D structures and Metal 3D, carries out an automatic analysis and design of coplanar hollow structural section connections, like those which are usually provided in flat trusses.

More information on this module can be found at: Joints V. Flat trusses with hollow structural sections.

The new module Joints IV. Bolted. Building frames with rolled and welded steel I sections allows for the automatic design and analysis of the most common type of bolted connections of rolled and welded steel I sections in CYPECAD, its Integrated 3D structures and Metal 3D. More information can be found in the Bolted connections of rolled and welded steel I sections for building frames section (implemented codes, type of implemented connections…).

  • Export of aluminium elements

Metal 3D and Integrated 3D structures of CYPECAD allow for designed aluminium elements to be exported to Tekla Structures, TecnoMetal 4D and to CIS/2 format.

More information on the elements CYPECAD, Metal 3D and Integrated 3D structures of CYPECAD can export to these programs can be found at Export to Tekla Structures, Export to TecnoMetal 4D and Export to CIS/2 format.

The classification of the combinations with respect to the duration of the load has been improved. This improvement is important for the resistance calculation of wooden sections.

The automatic generation of accidental fire combinations for wood has been implemented according to the codes for wooden sections: CTE (Spain), Eurocode and NBR 7190 (Brazil).

  • 2010.a

The ultimate limit state (ULS) check reports for wooden sections have been implemented for when analysing using the CTE. In this reports, a check is carried out on the resistance for outdoor temperatures situations and for fire situations (this last check if the user has activated the check for fire resistance).
