Update history​​

CYPE Connect

AIJ Design Standard for Steel Structures (Based on Allowable Stress Concept)

Implemented in CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel for checking bolted and welded steel connections.

Canadian Standards Association. S16-09 Design of steel structures.

Implemented in CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel for checking bolted and welded steel connections.

Version 2024.e implements the export of the rotational stiffnesses of the connections in CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel. The import of rotational stiffnesses is also implemented in CYPE 3D.

This improvement allows the rotational stiffness of connections analysed in CYPE Connect or StruBIM Steel to be considered in the original CYPE 3D structure.

The export occurs when there are connections with analysed rotational stiffness and is exported to BIMserver.center.

In CYPE 3D, the corresponding contribution must be imported from the menu "BIMserver.center > Consult", activating the "Update the rotational stiffness of the element ends" option.

In version 2024.e of CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel, the panel where the parameters are entered when creating the supplementary reinforcements associated with anchors has been improved. New options have been added to simplify the panel, also, graphic aids with texts have been implemented to help users understand the available options in greater detail.

In version 2024.d of CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel, the possibility of using post-installed anchors from the HILTI brand catalogue as concrete fixing elements in anchor plates has been incorporated. The checking of these elements is carried out in accordance with the criteria from EN 1992-4:2018, based on the data provided in the respective ETA (European Technical Assessment) for each fixing.

The post-installed anchors incorporated in version 2024.d are the following:

  • Chemical fixings
  • Torque-controlled expansion anchors
  • Drop-in anchors
  • Undercut anchors
  • Concrete screws

In version 2024.d of CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel, the possibility of using post-installed anchors from the FISCHER brand catalogue as concrete fixing elements in anchor plates has been incorporated. The checking of these elements is carried out in accordance with the criteria from EN 1992-4:2018, based on the data provided in the respective ETA (European Technical Assessment) for each fixing.

The post-installed anchors incorporated in version 2024.d are the following:

  • Chemical fixings
  • Torque-controlled expansion anchors
  • Drop-in anchors
  • Concrete screws

In version 2024.d, the buckling analysis process has been significantly improved, thus reducing analysis times considerably.

As of version 2024.d, CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel can also be installed in Romanian. The languages in which these applications can be installed are the following: Catalan, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian and Spanish.
