The possibility to display the loads of all the loadcases or a selection of loadcases has been implemented in the 2020.f version (Loads > Views).

Disconnect columns automatically from "Beams with external fixity"
In versions earlier than the 2020.f version, if the path of walls that were being entered, using the "Beams/Walls > Define beam > Beams with external fixity" option, coincided with any columns, users would have to disconnect them so the vertical movement of the columns would not be hindered by the walls. Now, in the 2020.f version, columns are disconnected automatically when these beams are entered (wall supports or fixed).

Simultaneous selection of several types of envelopes in the frames editor
Users can now select several types of envelopes so they can be viewed simultaneously in the frames editor. It is possible to choose persistent or transitory, seismic or accidental situations.

Selection of floors in the 3D view of the deformed shape
Users can now select floors in the 3D view of the deformed shape. In "Floors > Floor selection", the initial floor and final floor that are to be displayed can be chosen.

Check of columns and timber bars with circular sections for the "CIRSOC 601" and "ANSI/AWC NDS-2015" codes
The 2020.e version includes the check of columns and timber bars with circular sections for the following design codes:
- CIRSOC 601
- ANSI/AWC NDS-2015

Correction of errors at wall intersections
Errors related to specific geometries at wall intersections at the same level and with walls introduced on other walls, which interrupted the analysis, have been corrected.

The analysis is not interrupted with warnings requiring users' approval
In previous versions, certain warnings interrupted the analysis until users accepted them. As of the 2020.e version, these warnings are displayed with a twenty second wait before closing automatically. In any case, these errors appear in the final report. This improvement allows the analysis to continue and finish when these warnings appear without the need for users to be on the lookout.

Consult displacements in the 3D view of the deformed shape
In the 2020.e version of CYPECAD, users can consult results in the 3D view of the deformed shape. This window is accessed from the "Deformed shape" tab, and also (as of the 2020.e version) from the "Deformed shape" option of the "Envelopes" menu of the "Results" tab.
By activating the "Consult" button in the window of the 3D view of the deformed shape, the program displays the displacement values of the points of the structure on which the mouse cursor is placed.

Assign elevation differences to intermediate floors of walls
With this improvement, which is included in the "Sloped floor slabs/ El. Changes" option in the "Walls" menu, users can define an opening in a wall when the upper elevation of the opening is higher than the elevation of the floor. This improvement is useful when intermediate floors have to be defined in the project, such as roof slabs at different heights.

Analysis duration in the final report
As of the 2020.e version, the start time, end time and duration of the analysis is added to the final design report.

Edit the perimeter of the support for punching shear checks
In previous versions to the 2020.e version, users could complete or trim the critical perimeter and reinforcement perimeter in the punching shear check. As of the 2020.e version, it is also possible to complete or trim the perimeter of the support.

Activate or deactivate the buckling check for steel or timber beams that are subjected to compression
In the 2020.e version, an option has been implemented to activate or deactivate the buckling check for steel or timber beams that are subjected to compression in the XY plane and in the XZ plane (in CYPECAD only beams that are disconnected from the rigid diaphragm can be subjected to compression). In previous versions, compressed steel or timber beams were always checked for buckling.
