CYPECAD
Direct opening of projects with predetermined apps
As of version 2026.b, project files are automatically associated with the corresponding CYPE app in the Windows environment. This means that you simply double-click on the file to open it directly in the appropriate program, without having to select it manually. This improvement streamlines the workflow and provides a smoother and more efficient user experience.

New checks on piles and foundations in CYPECAD and CYPE 3D
In CYPECAD, CYPE 3D and Foundation elements, it is now possible to define several stirrup sections, check the structural limit, and perform checks according to the CIRSOC 103 standard in Argentina.

Implementation of new international standards in CYPECAD, CYPE 3D, StruBIM Steel and CYPE Connect
Version 2026.b expands the international scope of CYPE software with the implementation of new standards:
-
- CYPECAD (Turkish wind standard TS 498: 2021);
-
- CYPECAD and CYPE 3D (Algerian earthquake standard RPA 2024);
-
- CYPECAD, CYPE 3D and Portal frame generator (Romanian rolled steel standard SR EN 1993-1-1);
-
- CYPECAD, CYPE 3D and Portal frame generator (Romanian standard SR EN 1993-1-3 and Indian standard IS 801 - 1975 (Rf 1995) for shaped steel);
-
- StruBIM Steel and CYPE Connect (Australian standards for anchors AS 3600: 2018 and AS 5216: 2021).

New module for designing lightweight slabs in CYPECAD
With the "Lightweight slabs" module, CYPECAD analyses and designs lightweight slab floors, made up of two different zones: lightened and infilled. Lightweight slabs are selected from the manufacturer's catalogues integrated in the program, which are available via the "Open BIM Database". The slab edge must be large enough to hold the lightweight element, and the program offers the option of displaying only those that are compatible with the slab edge. A new section, "Lightweight slabs", has been added to the "Slabs" menu, which includes all the specific functions for this type of slab, such as "Enter lightweight slabs", "Generate lightweight elements" or "Generate solid zones", among others.

Checking ground pressure diagrams in footings in CYPECAD and CYPE 3D
It is now possible to consult the ground bearing pressure diagrams at the base of the footings in CYPECAD and CYPE 3D. As a result, the suitability of the solution adopted for the foundation can be assessed, as well as the distribution of loads on the ground and the behaviour of each footing.

Checking CQC stresses for seismic loads in CYPECAD and CYPE 3D
Should the modal spectral analysis be selected to consider the effect of earthquake, the maximum response of the structure in the seismic load is estimated by combining the results of the modes of vibration by means of the Complete Quadratic Combination (CQC). In versions prior to 2026.a, only seismic load stresses, reactions, displacements, etc. could be checked for the seismic scenario by mode. This is now also possible for the CQC modal combination.

Reinforcing the transverse reinforcement of columns while maintaining the longitudinal reinforcement in CYPECAD and CYPE 3D
A new option has been added in the column editor that can be used to design the transverse reinforcement of all columns while maintaining the existing longitudinal reinforcement. The option, called "Trans. reinf. all", is available in the "Redesign" group.

Improved stairs and ramps in CYPECAD
Version 2026.a includes new features for stairs and ramps in CYPECAD, such as the checking of stresses and displacements by combinations (previously only by simple loads), the editing of the initial floor plan of stairs and ramps, or the modification of the angle of a staircase in any group ("Rotate a stair core" option).
