Users can choose the colours with which the elements of the project are exported in two different ways:
As of the 2021.c version, the "New floors" option allows for floors to be added below the current foundation group.
In the previous version (2021.b) the possibility to customise reports in CYPECAD based on predefined reports was implemented.
Now, in the 2021.c version, the following predefined reports have been added to optionally include them as chapters in the customisable reports:
If any of these chapters is selected, it is possible to configure the data to be listed using the "Report options" button.
Structural use of concrete. Part 1: Code of practice for design and construction.

The 2021.b version of CYPECAD includes other improvements and program corrections that may be required in unique cases:
As of the 2021.b version, users can customise CYPECAD reports.
The "Customised reports" option allows users to select the reports that are to be generated. These reports must have been defined previously using the "Available customised reports" button.
These reports can be used in any project and can be used on another computer on which the 2021.b or later version is installed.
For customised reports, users can define their chapters as well as the title of the reports and whether their index and chapter levels are to appear.
The chapters that make up the report must be selected based on the chapters of the predefined reports that appear in the tree on the right. They can be grouped and organised as users wish. The name of the chapters can be modified, and users can add empty chapters to include the information later on.
For the time being, the chapters of 13 predefined reports can be used, but we continue to work to implement as many predefined reports as possible.
In the 2021.b version, the "Reports" dialogue of the "File" menu can be configured by users. The appearance of the panel that is displayed when "Reports" is pressed has changed. It shows all the reports that are available in the program. The buttons that correspond to reports that cannot be displayed in the current project are disabled.
The "Options" button allows users to select which reports appear in the panel and the order in which they are displayed. This way, users can only show the reports that they usually use in the panel organised in accordance to their preference criteria.
The 2021.a version of CYPECAD also includes other minor improvements and corrections of the program that can arise in specific cases:
A warning is displayed in the final design report if, during the design process of floor slabs, waffle slabs or drop panels, the base reinforcement has been modified in any way. The slabs on which any changes have been carried out are indicated.
The options that are selected in “Template object snaps” are saved when the Accept button is pressed. This way the selection remains for when the program is executed in the future.
In the 2021.a version, columns with different sections and material types can be imported from the BIM model.
In the “Columns” stage of the BIM model import assistant, a list is displayed containing the columns that have been detected. The first column of the list allows users to activate or deactivate the import of each type of section. The columns “Material”, “Type” and “Description” show the data that is contained on the IFC file. The “Transverse section” column indicates the section that is assigned to the type of column. By pressing on each cell, the selection panel of the transverse section of the column can be accessed.
The “Switch axes” column allows users to change the orientation of the local axes of the section. This tool is required when the axes criteria of the transverse section of the IFC that is being imported is different to the axes criteria of the sections of CYPECAD.
The program assigns rectangular and circular sections automatically. For each remaining section, the corresponding CYPECAD section must be assigned. The assignment that is carried out is saved automatically for future imports.
Soil-structure interaction (footings and pile caps) is a CYPECAD module with which the settlement of the foundations and their interaction with the rest of the structure, regarding forces and deformations, can be considered. The soil-structure interaction is considered by defining elastic stiffness constants for the foundation elements.
For footings, the stiffness is entered as the subgrade modulus. Similarly, for pile caps, users must define the axial stiffness for each pile, which is determined by the ratio between its load and the settlement that is produced.
