CYPECAD

  • The results of timber columns are shown for the NBR 7190:1997 code of Brazil.
  • The results of columns that have not been designed after the analysis can be edited.
  • Columns that have been rotated and their fixed point is not the centre can be exported to IFC format.
  • The initial stressing load is shown on drawings and reports.
  • The wind loads report displays the units correctly when it is viewed from the “General data” panel.

  • 2020.d

Two new section libraries have been implemented:

  • Range of European sections (Section series adapted to EN 10365: 2017 and EN 10056: 2017)
  • Colmena
More information
  • 2020.c

In the 2020.c version, the “Wind load justification report” has been implemented for the following codes:

  • NBR 6123
    Forças devidas ao vento em edificações (Brazil)

  • NF EN 1991-1-4/NA
    Document National d’Application pour la France.
    Eurocode 1: Actions sur les structures.
    Partie 1-4: Actions générales – Actions du vent.

This report was implemented for other codes in previous versions and will continue to be implemented for others progressively.

A new option has been implemented to change the position of texts that have been defined using the “Editing resources” tools from the “Drawing editor” of the “Drawing composition”.

  • 2020.c

Some options (Options, Reorganise, Assign number, Assign reference and Multiple assignment) have been grouped or added in the “Beam alignment” panel (“Beam Definition” > Beams > Beam alignments).

Please note that, as of the 2020.c version, beam alignment references will remain even if beams are added or deleted.

Options

The following existing tools have been grouped in Options:

  • Frame order criteria
  • Base reference of the frames (Project)
  • Base reference of the frames (By group)

Reorganise

Using this tool, users can reorganise the frames depending on their position on-plan.

Assign number

This option allows users to assign a different alignment or frame number to the one that has been generated automatically by the program in accordance with the criteria that has been specified in “Generate alignments”.

Assign reference

With this option, users can assign a reference to an alignment.

Multiple assignment

Using this tool, users can assign the following data to a selection of alignments:

  • Number
    The first number from which the numbers will continue is defined here.
  • Reference
    Users define the reference of the first frame, as of which the remaining references will be assigned by increasing the last symbol alphabetically or numerically.
  • References (horizontal and vertical)
    The references of the first vertical and first horizontal frames are defined, as of which the remaining references will be assigned by increasing the last symbol alphabetically or numerically.

The appearance of the dialogue box where columns are introduced and edited has been modified. The table where users can edit the geometry of the column at each floor has been moved to the right of the column data.

With the distribution that existed in previous version, users could not view all floors simultaneously if the structure contained a high number of floors.

  • 2020.c

Several options have been implemented in CYPECAD to import floor slab outlines:

  • Import floor slab outlines with the data obtained from explicit definition (FootPrint).
  • Import the floor slab outlines with the data obtained from the 3D model.
  • Do not import floor slab outlines.

The architectural models can contain different information depending on the program and the program version that has generated them. Some programs export the floor plan representation of the floor slabs (FootPrint) as well as the 3D model. Up until the 2020.b version, CYPECAD imported the representation of the floor slabs (FootPrint) if it had been defined, otherwise, it offered users the possibility to import them based on the 3D model.

These import options have been implemented because errors were observed in the IFCs that came from the latest versions of some programs, where the outlines were exported correctly but the outlines of the openings were not exported

With the “Timber columns” module, CYPECAD can analyse and design timber columns with rectangular and circular sections.

The codes that have been implemented to design and check timber columns are:

  • ANSI/AWC NDS – 2015 (ASD) (USA)
  • CIRSOC 601 (Argentina)
  • CTE-DB-SE-M (Spain)
  • Eurocode 5
  • Eurocode 5 France
  • Eurocode 5 Belgium
  • NBR 190:1997 (Brazil)

The codes for which this justification report has been implemented can be consulted in the “Wind load justification report” section of the new features of CYPECAD on this webpage.

In the 2020.b version of CYPECAD, tags of shear walls that have been defined by users can now be represented on floor plan drawings.

  • 2020.b

Users can now edit the bolt to baseplate connection method for each baseplate.

Up until the 2020.a version, only one connection system could be selected for all the project (Project > General data).

As of the 2020.b version, when users edit an individual baseplate (Foundations > Baseplates > Edit), they can change the connection system between the bolts and the baseplate (“Bolts” button > “Bolts-baseplate anchorage” option).

In the 2020.b version, users can also define the connection system between bolts and the general baseplate of the project from “Foundations” > “Baseplates” > “Options”.

“Singapore national annex to EUROCODE 8: Design of structures for earthquake resistance - Part 1: General rules, seismic actions and rules for buildings”.
