CYPECAD

• Selecting all wall types in the same panel
  Previously, there was an option to enter each of the wall types.
• Three types of entry
  • Simple
    When the end point of a wall is marked, another wall does not start, allowing the snapping of elements from a DXF/DWG template.
  • Continuous
    The end point of one wall is the starting point of the next, allowing elements to be snapped from a DXF/DWG template.
  • Snapping
    This way, any type of wall can be assigned to a polygonal line or line in the DXF/DWG template.
• Adjustment selection
  Defines the wall adjustment line to be entered.
• Displacement
  Sets the distance between the entry line and the wall.

• One IFC file with all floors
  Generates a single IFC file that includes the reinforcement of the entire model.
• One IFC file per floor
  Generates a separate IFC file for each floor, with the corresponding reinforcement.
• Include the description of the bars in BVBS format in the IFC files
  Adds an additional parameter on each bar with its description in BVBS format, which provides the necessary information about the shape of each bar for its manufacture.
• One BVBS file containing all the elements
  Generates a single file that includes all the rebar in the project.
• One BVBS file per element
  Generates a separate file for each element in the project.

In the "Export" menu, the "Export in CSV format" option has been added. Here, users can create customised tables with different formats, data, and results of the elements in the job that are to be exported in CSV format. These tables can be saved and used in any project.

For now, the forces of columns, shear walls and walls can be exported in different configurations. Other types of tables will be implemented in future updates of the program.

In CYPECAD version 2025.c, the possibility of defining precast concrete joist floor systems and using them to design joist floor slabs has been implemented. A system or assembly is defined by the selection of a joist, a form and the thickness of the compression layer. Precast elements are selected using the manufacturer's product catalogues that have been incorporated into the program.

The program designs the optimum joist among those available for the selected assembly, as well as the reinforcement to be installed in the job in order to comply with the safety requirements established by the code. To this end, checks are carried out on the ultimate and serviceability limit states, as well as other geometric and quantity checks. To carry out the checks, the real section of the concrete is generated, both precast and poured on site, with its corresponding reinforcement.

Just as with other elements such as beams and columns, the checks can be viewed and listed in detail, and any changes made by the user to the result proposed by the program will affect the checks.

Floor slab systems are available for the following concrete standards: Spanish structural code "Código Estructural" and "Eurocode 2" (including the different national annexes). In addition to the requirements of the concrete standard, the provisions of "EN 15037" have been considered, which complements the specifications for the particular case of prefabricated joists.
