The "Value at a point" option has been added to the "Contour plots" tab. With this option, the value of the contour plots displayed anywhere in the floor can be consulted.

Copying the reinforcement of another wall
The "Copy the reinforcement of another wall" option (‘Results > Beams/Walls’) has been implemented to copy the reinforcement from one wall to another. To copy the reinforcement, the walls must have the same number of floors.

Participation coefficients
The "Participation coefficients" option has been added to the "Results > Envelopes" menu. This option allows users to consult the "Participation coefficients" table included in the "Justification of seismic action" report when a dynamic modal spectral analysis is carried out.

Beam editor: Edit section
In the beam editor, the "Edit section" option has been added, which allows the section dimensions of the different spans of the portal frame to be modified without having to exit the editing panel.

Piles: Calculation of sinking load (new CYPECAD, CYPE 3D and Foundation elements module)
In version 2025.c, the calculation of the sinking load in deep foundations using reinforced concrete piles has been implemented for the "CYPECAD", "CYPE 3D" and "Foundation elements" programs. This implementation has been included in the new module "Piles: Calculation of sinking load".
This module complements the design of deep foundations using pile caps, allowing users to verify the bearing capacity of piles under different load conditions, considering the characteristics of the soil and the pile itself.
To use this module, the user license must have the appropriate permissions depending on the program where it is to be used.
More information on this module common to the CYPECAD, CYPE 3D and Foundation elements programs is available in the new 2025.c version "Piles: Calculation of sinking load (new module)".

"Forces in columns, shear walls and walls" and "Force distribution in shear walls and walls"
It is now possible to consult the integrated forces in the section for walls and shear walls. For this purpose, the options for consulting the forces of columns, shear walls and walls existing in previous versions of the program have been restructured.
- In the "Forces in columns, shear walls and walls" option, the forces in shear walls and walls are consulted together.
- In the "Force distribution in shear walls and walls" option, the stresses, displacements and forces of the finite elements in which these elements have been discretised for the analysis can be consulted.

Fire resistance analysis according to Annex 20 of the Spanish structural code "Código Estructural" and Eurocode 2 (Part 1-2)
In CYPECAD version 2025.c, the fire resistance check for columns has been improved. From this version onwards, the degree of use in a fire situation is analysed and is used instead of the simplification that allows a value of 0.7 to be considered.

Simplified design model
In CYPECAD version 2025.c, three new options have been included for the analysis of a job. With these options, the analysis process is speeded up by means of several simplifications.
- Design model of solid floor slabs and waffle slabs with variable-size bar mesh
The number of grid elements in the design model generated for solid floor slabs and waffle slabs is reduced. - Basic generation of intermediate nodes of wall in contact with solid floor slabs and waffle slabs
If this option is used, the design model is simplified in the areas of contact between walls and floor slabs. - Basic triangularisation of concrete walls
The number of finite elements generated in the design model for concrete walls is reduced.
The use of this method is recommended in the early design stages of projects requiring long design times.

Using hardware acceleration in the column editor
As of version 2025.c, the CYPECAD and CYPE 3D column editor will use hardware acceleration for drawing the column schedule.
This implementation allows the model to be represented and moved more smoothly.

Links to the CYPE website in the apps help menu
In version 2025.c, new options have been added to the "Help" menu of all CYPE apps, providing direct links to key resources on the CYPE website. These options make it easier to access to useful information and Technical Support, improving the overall experience of using the program.
The new options are the following:
- Technical support: This link provides information on the different ways of contacting the CYPE Technical Support team to clarify any queries, obtain customised assistance and solve any problem related to the apps.
- User community: This option provides access to the CYPE user community, where users can share experiences, ask questions and discuss solutions with other professionals using the same tools. This community encourages the exchange of knowledge and best practices, helping to make the most of the program's features.
- Learning resources: This link leads to a collection of learning resources, such as tutorials, manuals, videos and articles, designed to help you understand and use CYPE apps more efficiently. These materials are designed for all levels of experience, from beginners to advanced users, and are an excellent source of information to expand skills and technical knowledge.
These new additions make it easier to access information and provide the necessary support to improve the users' experience with the apps and to encourage professional development.

Entering walls. New interface
An interface similar to the beam entry interface has been implemented. The improvements compared to the previous interface are as follows:
- Selecting all wall types in the same panel
Previously, there was an option to enter each of the wall types. - Three types of entry
- Simple
When the end point of a wall is marked, another wall does not start, allowing the snapping of elements from a DXF/DWG template. - Continuous
The end point of one wall is the starting point of the next, allowing elements to be snapped from a DXF/DWG template. - Snapping
This way, any type of wall can be assigned to a polygonal line or line in the DXF/DWG template.
- Simple
- Adjustment selection
Defines the wall adjustment line to be entered. - Displacement
Sets the distance between the entry line and the wall.

Language selection for reports and drawings
As of version 2025.c, users can select a language other than the one used in the program to obtain reports and drawings. For this purpose, the "Language for reports and drawings" option has been implemented, which is accessible from several dialogue boxes in the program as shown in the image.
Please note that references to certain elements of the job, such as group and floor plan names, will be in the language they were entered in. The same applies to general settings of the program, such as the names of "Floor plans", or the chapters of "Customised reports".
