In CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel version 2025.b, there is now the possibility to use post-installed RAWLPLUG branded chemical anchors as concrete fixing elements in baseplates.
These elements are checked according to the criteria of EN 1992-4:2018, based on the data provided in the ETAs (European Technical Assessment) of these anchors.
The post-installed anchors incorporated in version 2025.b are the following:
In version 2024.d, HILTI brand chemical and mechanical anchors for concrete fixings were incorporated into CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel. Now, in version 2025.b, the catalogue of HILTI anchors has been extended with the addition of HIT RE-500 V4 post-installed chemical anchors, with HAS-U A4 anchor rods.
These elements are checked according to the criteria of EN 1992-4:2018, based on the data provided in the ETAs (European Technical Assessment) of these anchors.
In version 2025.b of CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel, a section with optional checks for anchors has been added to the "Check anchors" panel.
This way, users can select which checks they need to carry out for the connection to be analysed.
This new feature is available for all concrete codes that are implemented in both programs.

In version 2025.b of CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel, the National Annexes to Eurocode 3 from the following countries have been incorporated:
New types of headed anchors have been implemented. Corrugated bars and smooth bars can be finished with a square or circular plate welded on the end. For threaded rods, ends with a stop nut and plate, with or without a locknut, have been implemented.
The head area is considered in the corresponding checks and the sheet is not added to the finite element model.
As of version 2025.b, applications now display a warning message in their initial window when a new update is available. This message provides information about the "installed version" and the "available version", together with a direct link to the Store page of the BIMserver.center web platform.
Clicking on the “Upgrade to the latest version” button automatically starts the download and installation process of the application. This feature ensures that the most current version of the program is always being used, thus benefiting from the latest improvements.
This method replaces the automatic notification and update process of a new version in the BIMserver.center programs available in previous versions.
In the configuration panel for each application, a direct link to its page in the BIMserver.center web store has been included.
By clicking on the “Go to BIMserver.center Store” button, users are redirected directly to the corresponding page in the Store, where they can learn more about the application, view its features, read reviews from other users and see examples of real contributions.
This feature provides easy access to additional resources and support, enhancing the user experience by providing quick and easy access to all relevant information about the applications.
