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.
"Standar Nasional Indonesia: Spesifikasi untuk bangunan gedung baja struktural".
Implemented in CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel for checking bolted and welded steel connections.
Norma Técnica Complementaria para Diseño y Construcción de Estructuras de Acero.
Implemented in:
"Norme Tecniche per le Construzioni".
Implemented in CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel for checking bolted and welded steel connections.
"Reglamento Colombiano para Construcción Sismo Resistente".
Implemented in CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel for checking bolted and welded steel connections.
"Egyptian Code Of Practice For Steel Construction And Bridges (Allowable Stress Design)".
Implemented in CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel for checking bolted and welded steel connections.
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.
An information message has been incorporated into the installation button of the applications so that, before proceeding with the installation, users can identify which applications are free to use (free of charge) and which require licensing permissions (including paid modules).
This enhancement improves the user experience by providing clarity and transparency on the options available to the user based on their license model.
In the new 2025.b version of CYPE Menu, the background installation feature has been added. Users can now continue working on other tasks while applications are automatically installed in the background.
During the background installation process, the “Installing program” message is displayed next to the applications button in the main CYPE Menu window. Once completed, the message disappears and the application can be run.
This feature is designed to make applications easier to use and manage, improving productivity and the overall experience by minimising waiting time and interruptions during the installation of new applications or upgrades.
