CYPECAD

North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members (USA).

Implemented in CYPECAD, CYPE 3D and StruBIM CYPE 3D.

More information
  • 2021.f

Structural use of steelwork in building - Part 1: Code of practice for design (Rolled and welded sections).

Implemented in CYPECAD, CYPE 3D and StruBIM CYPE 3D.

Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete.

Implemented in CYPECAD, CYPE 3D and StruBIM CYPE 3D.

The 2021.e version of CYPECAD also includes the following improvements (some of which correct possible problems that may arise under specific circumstances):

  • Import PDF files as drawing templates
    These templates work in the same way as those that have been created based on images, and so, it is not possible to snap to any objects on them.
  • "Tributary widths" panel
    The "Tributary widths" panel has been improved to better view the names of the floors and corresponding values.
  • "Drawing editor – 3D structure" panel
    The "Drawing editor – 3D structure" panel has been improved and users can now view the complete name of the 3D structures.
  • "Column details" drawing
    The generation of the "Column details" drawing has been improved when the "By floors" option is selected. In some cases, the drawing of all the columns was not obtained.
  • Castellated beams
    The view of castellated beams has been improved in the 3D view of the project. Now, the number and position of the openings, coincide with those drawn in the frame drawings.
  • Representation of castellated beams on frame drawings
    An error that occurred when representing castellated beams on frame drawings has been solved. This error occurred only if the number of infilled openings at the beginning was different to that at the end, and under specific circumstances.
  • Column references
    An error has been solved that occurred when column references were drawn when a column was defined on another that had an outline with more than 4 sides.
  • Import columns in the BIM model
    An error has been solved that occurred when columns were imported from the BIM model when the selected concrete code was the REBAP code.
  • Walls
    An error has been solved that occurred when the analysis was launched of a project containing walls that had been defined on one floor, with a strip footing and its top part ended with a sloped plane.
  • Deformed shape
    An error has been solved that occurred when users consulted the deformed shape in specific cases.

Two colour palettes have been added to view surface loads.

The checks the program performs on foundation elements are displayed in a more compact manner, as occurs with checks of other types of elements.

The following predefined reports can be added optionally as chapters in customisable reports:

  • Composite slab quantities
  • Floor slab reinforcement
  • Punching shear verification
  • Surface areas/Volumes
  • Horizontal wind loads

The "Advanced design of surface foundations" module is common to CYPE 3D and CYPECAD. Nevertheless, the features of this module are different in each program:

  • In CYPECAD
    Allows users to design foundations with footings or pile caps with special intersections (intersections between strap and tie beams), establish polygonal limits for footings and enter line, point and surface loads on footings, pile caps, and strap and tie beams.

    By being able to consider point, line and surface loads on the foundation elements, users can consider the effects of the load of the soil, screeds, façades, stairs etc. acting on the elements and take into account any possible favourable effect they may have on their equilibrium and size.
  • In CYPE 3D
    Users can only place polygonal limits on footings.

As of the 2021.e version, so users who have this module in their license can use all of its features, those who have CYPE 3D in their license but not CYPECAD, can also use CYPECAD (2021.e version) and import a CYPE 3D project to design the foundation using all the tools the "Advanced design of surface foundations" module has in CYPECAD.

"Guía Boliviana de Diseño Sísmico 2020".

Implemented in CYPECAD and CYPE 3D.

The 2021.d version of CYPECAD also includes other minor program improvements and corrections of issues that could occur in unique cases:

  • The "Surface loads on panels" option has been improved and users can select panels that are completely surrounded by others.
  • Warnings when assigning walls that appeared repetitively have been eliminated.
  • The values of the "Groups" > "Options – 3D view" option are saved.
  • The values that are shown in the "Damping" help box of the "Norma de Construcción Sismorresistente NCSE-02" have been corrected.
  • After using the "Loads" > "Change loadcase assignment" option, the floors on which changes have been carried out are automatically saved.
  • An error in the "Reinforcement quantities, per diameter" report has been solved. When the "Detail base reinforcement on drawings" option was active, the base reinforcement total was twice the actual value in the summary of the quantities.
  • An error has been solved, which caused an increase in the length of a frame in cases as shown in the image.
  • An error has been solved that occurred when users tried to obtain the frames drawing having deleted all the sections when the frame had been edited.
  • An error has been solved that occurred when users consulted the deformed shape having deleted loadcases that had been consulted previously.
  • An error has been solved that occurred when users cancelled the selection of the form in "Panel manager > Waffle slabs > Import from library".
  • An error has been solved that occurred when stairs were entered in groups that had been added below foundation level, which caused for them to be added to the group above.

The 2021.d version includes the new tool "Lock/Unlock perimeter" in the "Punching shear" option ("Results" tab > "Slabs/Waffle slabs" menu > "Punching shear" option). Using this tool, users can lock as many perimeters of the supports as they wish. This way, each time the project is analysed or when punching shear perimeters are regenerated, only those that have not been locked will be generated.

The following predefined reports have been added, so users may add them as chapters in the customised reports:

  • Joist takeoff
  • Form takeoff
  • Joist floor slab reinforcement takeoff
  • Hollow core plate takeoff
  • Hollow core plate reinforcement takeoff
  • Composite slab reinforcement takeoff
