As of version 2021.f, entering the density value of a construction system layer is optional. If this value is not entered, it cannot be read in thermal and acoustic analysis applications.

CYPE Construction Systems
The exporting of construction systems' 3D models in glTF format has been optimised for Open BIM program viewers, for the BIMserver.center platform viewer, and for BIMserver.center mobile applications. This has led to an improvement in viewer performance, as well as in uploading and downloading files to the BIMserver.center platform.
The justification documents for the descriptive report of the project’s building envelope and partitioning system has been modified. Now, the construction system references do not appear in the index. This decision is due to the fact that the "description" field of the system definition panel is usually left blank, and the text used as a "reference" is sufficient for the descriptive report. This resulted in a list with an index that was equivalent to the content.
As of the 2021.b version, CYPE Construction Systems exports the definition of the construction solutions, together with their link to the elements of the architectural BIM model, to the BIMserver.center project. This information can be interpreted by the different specialist BIM tools aimed at the thermal and acoustic analysis of the building.
In the event that there is an association of construction solutions in the BIM project, which has been carried out using CYPE Construction Systems, it will be used for the library of thermal or acoustic simulation programs instead of the types defined in the physical or analytical model. It should be noted that the layers that make up the system and their physical properties will be read, but they will not be modified when the BIM project is updated. This way, user changes are maintained within the specialist application, as well as the types that may be stored in ".bibgen" files.
Below are the current applications that are capable of reading and incorporating the construction systems of CYPE Construction Systems in their design model:
- Thermal simulation
- CYPETHERM HE Plus
- CYPETHERM EPlus
- CYPETHERM LOADS
- CYPETHERM RT2012
- CYPETHERM RT2012 CNOA
- CYPETHERM REH
- CYPETHERM RECS Plus
- CYPETHERM C.E.
- CYPETHERM COMETH
- CYPETHERM RTExistant
- Acoustic simulation
- CYPESOUND
- CYPESOUND CTE
The 2021.a version has an increased number of catalogues of the materials that are available to complete the information regarding the layers that make up construction solutions.
Some CYPE OPEN BIM programs have a 3D workspace to enter the elements of the installation. This 3D interface is currently available in the following applications:
- Open BIM Analytical Model
- CYPE Construction Systems
- Open BIM Model Checker
- Open BIM Vertical Connections
- CYPE Lightning
- CYPEHVAC Ductwork
- Open BIM MOVAIR
- Open BIM RenoZEB - Focchi Facades
- Open BIM TVITEC
- Open BIM UNEX
- Open BIM URSA AIR
- Open BIM VAILLANT
- CYPELEC PV Systems
A user guide for the tools of this 3D workspace is published with the 2020.f version.

"CYPE Construction Systems" is a tool to define the technical features of the construction systems that make up the envelope and internal partitioning of buildings.
The program allows users to indicate the description of the construction systems, define their layers and their relationship with the elements of the architectural model of the linked BIM project.
"CYPE Construction Systems" displays warnings of any possible incongruities that may exist, such as any differences between the value of the total thickness of the construction system and that of the architectural element to which it is associated.
The program generates the description and construction reports of the envelope and partitioning systems and exports them to the BIM model of the project, so they can be interpreted by other programs, such as the "CYPE Memorias CTE" application.
The program also generates the 3D information of the defined construction systems so they can be viewed on the web viewer of the BIMserver.center platform and on the other Open BIM applications that are connected to the BIM project.
