Circular plate
Up until version 2024.f, a circular plate could be defined by using the "Polygonal" option to create 2 or more curved sections.
As of version 2024.f, the "Plate" operation includes the new "Circular" option.
This new option allows users to define a circular plate more easily.

Importing the forces of circular hollow sections
Up until version 2024.f, circular hollow sections only imported their forces if they had been defined as reinforced sections.
As of version 2024.f, the forces of both reinforced hollow sections and circular hollow sections will be imported.

Improved CYPE 3D communication with StruBIM Steel and CYPE Connect
Up to version 2024.e, the import of CYPE 3D structures into StruBIM Steel or CYPE Connect was carried out from an IFC generated by CYPE 3D.
With this improvement in version 2024.f, this communication will be carried out by exporting and importing an exchange file in JSON format, which will allow more efficient communication and accurately reflect the specific features of a CYPE 3D structure.

Circular hollow sections
As of version 2024.f, the possibility to model and analyse connections between circular hollow sections in CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel has been implemented.
In CYPE Connect, the node editing panel includes the option to select circular hollow sections within the hollow sections option.
In the connection editing panel, the existing operations adapt their use to work with hollow sections:
- Adjust bar
Allows users to adjust and weld bars to circular hollow sections. Each bar can have more than one adjustment at its ends, whether they are adjustments to planes defined by sections or plates, or adjustments to circular hollow sections.
- Trim plate
Allows a plate to be cut out of a hollow section and welds to be added between the plate and the hollow section. The hollow section can create an inner opening in the plate, or an outer trim, thus modifying the perimeter of the plate.
- Weld
Welds between circular hollow sections, or between circular hollow sections and plates have to be defined in the "Adjust bar" and "Trim plate" operations if the hollow section cuts the plate. From the "Weld" operation, users can add welds between plates and circular hollow sections in cases where any edge of the plate is parallel to the longitudinal axis of the hollow section.
The setting of the number of sides for the discretisation of the circular hollow sections can be found under "Modelling options". A user value or a value calculated automatically by the program can be defined.
Tubular hollow sections with a circular section are discretised by means of quadrilaterals and the number of elements can be reduced, thus reducing the analysis time.

Importing structures from an XML file generated by ETABS®
As of version 2024.f, ETABS® structures can be imported into CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel.
An XML file containing all the model definition tables (MODEL DEFINITION) and the bar force tables (ANALYSIS RESULTS > Element Output > Frame Output) must be exported from ETABS®.
The structure can be imported via StruBIM Uploader or directly into CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel.
In StruBIM Uploader, by selecting the "XML file produced with ETABS®" option, users access the file selection panel and select the BIMserver.center project, to which the data will be uploaded.
Information can be generated for StruBIM Shear Walls and for CYPE Connect or StruBIM Steel.
After exporting to BIMserver.center, in CYPE Connect or StruBIM Steel simply create the job from that BIMserver.center project.
In CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel, it can be imported directly via direct access to the StruBIM Uploader.
The bars and the forces in the bars are imported.
