Waffle slabs with OROBRIQUE filler blocks
Waffle slabs with ceramic filler blocks belonging to the manufacturer: OROBRIQUE, have been implemented. The feature of these slabs is the ceramic part below the rib, which allows fixed building service elements to be installed.
The following types have been added:
- OROBRIQUE PRC-750-TC4
- OROBRIQUE PRC-750-TC5
- OROBRIQUE PRC-775-TC4
- OROBRIQUE PRC-775-TC5
These floor slabs are available for the French reinforced concrete code BAEL-91.

Tekla® Structures export update
The export process to “Tekla® Structures” carried out by CYPECAD and CYPE 3D has been updated.
The 32-bit 2019.g version of CYPECAD and CYPE 3D continues to export to the same Tekla versions. In other words, it exports the analysed and designed structure to versions 12.0, 12.1, 13.0, 13.1, 14.0, 14.1, 15.0 SR1, 16.0, 17.0, 18.0, 19.0, 21.1 (32 bits) of “Tekla® Structures”.
The 64-bit 2019.g version of CYPECAD and CYPE 3D, exports the analysed and designed structure to versions 21.1 (64 bits), 2018, 2018i and 2019 of “Tekla® Structures”.

Integrated 3D structures of CYPECAD
The integrated 3D structures of CYPECAD can be introduced directly in CYPECAD or imported from a CYPE 3D project.
As of previous versions, the bars of a CYPE 3D structure defined as "rectangular or circular concrete columns or beams" were imported into CYPECAD as generic bar type elements. These bars had to be redefined by users as generic concrete bars of the corresponding section so that their inertia within the integrated 3D structure of CYPECAD corresponded to reality.
As of the 2019.f version of CYPECAD, the bars of the integrated 3D structures that are present from having imported a CYPE 3D project and have been defined as "rectangular or circular concrete columns or beams" in CYPE 3D, are defined as "generic rectangular or circular concrete bars" as appropriate, in CYPECAD. This way, these bars in CYPECAD are analysed as they have been in CYPE 3D without users having to redefine the sections in CYPECAD.

3D views
3D view of the analytical mode. New view
A 3D view of the analytical model has been included in the 2019.f version, which substitutes the old “3D model” view.
The 3D view of the analytical model can be accessed by going to the “Envelope” menu in the “Results” tab. This view is generated when the project is analysed and is always that of the last analysis.
The 3D view has an “Information” tool that is available to users (located in top left hand corner), which displays the properties of the element that users have double clicked on, in a floating window. If users carry out this selection and press the “Ctrl” key at the same time, the floating window remains on screen when another element is selected.
3D view of the analytical model. Export to the BIM model
If the project that is being worked on in CYPECAD is linked to an Open BIM model located on the BIMserver.center platform, the new view of the analytical model is also exported to BIMserver.center.
To do so, the “Analytical model” option must be marked in the panel that appears when the information is exported from CYPECAD to the BIM model. This way, the IFC that is generated during the export process will contain the reference to the GLTF file that contains the 3D view of the analytical model containing the information of the elements it is composed of.
Therefore, it is now possible to consult the analytical model and the physical model of the structure using the 3D viewer of the BIMserver.center platform and also from the 3D views of the rest of the applications connected to the BIM model.
3D view of the structure. Information on the structural elements
As of the 2019.f version, users can consult the information of the structural elements introduced in the 3D view of the structure shown in CYPECAD, in the 3D view of the BIM model (GLTF) or in the 3D view of the other applications connected to the BIM project. It includes the information on slabs, beams, sloped beams, foundation elements, walls, stairs and post-tensioned tendons.
3D view of the structure. New structural elements in the 3D views (joists, forms, composite slab decks and post-tensioned tendons
The 2019.f version provides users with the possibility to include the following structural elements in the 3D view of the structure of CYPECAD and in the 3D view that is exported to the BIM model:
- Joist floor slab components: joists, joist lattice reinforcement and forms.
- Steel decks for composite slabs
- Post-tensioned tendons
To view these elements in the 3D view of CYPECAD, users must select them in the “Groups > Options - 3D View” menu. A panel appears when the export process is carried out, where users can select the elements.
