Compatibility of the NTC 2017 (Mexico City) concrete code with the CF 2015 and CF 2008 earthquake codes of Mexico
As of the 2018.k version, if the selected concrete code is the “NTC 2017 (Mexico City)” code, the following earthquake codes of Mexico can be selected (as well as the NTC 2017 itself):
- CFE 2015
Manual de Diseño de Obras Civiles. Diseño por Sismo. Sección C: Estructuras. Tema 1: Criterios generals de análisis y diseño. Mexico 2015. - CFE 2008

Block reinforced concrete wall reinforcement
The 2018.k version allows users to block the reinforcement of reinforced concrete walls. To do so, a new option has been implemented: “Block reinforced concrete wall reinforcement” in the “Beams/Walls” menu of the “Results” tab. This option opens a dialogue box in which users can assign a “Blocked reinforcement” or “Unblocked reinforcement” property to reinforced concrete walls. The reinforcement of walls that have been assigned the “Blocked reinforcement” property will not change during the design process.

Access to “Wall forces” from the reinforcement editing window
As of the 2018.k version, users can consult the forces in walls in the “Edit reinforced concrete wall reinforcement” and “Edit block wall reinforcement” windows. To do so, both dialogue boxes include the new “Forces” button, which provides access to the force consultation dialogue box of the selected wall.

Selection of BIM model files to import
During the creation and updating processes of a project using a BIM model, users can select the IFC files of the BIM model that are to be imported. Until now, all the IFC files were read, now users decide which. This way, the updating process of the BIM model is quicker, since the IFCs that are not required in CYPECAD are not imported. Users can at any moment update the project and import all the IFC files of specialist programs of the BIM model.

Grouping frames in frame drawings
An option has been included where users can indicate whether or not frames with the same geometry and reinforcement should be grouped in frame drawings (Frame drawings > Configure > General options).
In previous versions, the program always grouped frames with the same geometry and reinforcement.

Template visibility upon opening the project
The behaviour of the program when opening projects, regarding the visibility of templates in DXF or DWG format, or those of the BIM model, has been modified. In previous versions, when projects were loaded, the visibility of all the templates assigned to the “Column Definition” and “Beam Definition” templates was maintained. As of the 2018.i version, when a project is opened, this visibility is deactivated.
The reason for this change is because projects containing visible templates take longer to open, the time required being greater the larger the templates are and the larger the number of visible templates that are present. With this new behaviour, projects are loaded more quickly. Users can easily activate or deactivate the templates (DXF, DWG or BIM model) assigned to each floor or at the “Column Definition” tab by pressing the F4 key.
