Norma ecuatoriana de la construcción. Capítulo 2.- Peligro sísmico y requisitos de diseño.
Implemented in CYPECAD and Metal 3D. In CYPECAD, users can choose to carry out a dynamic (spectral modal) or static (equivalent lateral force) analysis method. The base shear check is included in the dynamic analysis undertaken by CYPECAD.
Règles techniques de conception et de calcul des ouvrages et constructions en béton armé suivant la méthode des états limites.
This code was implemented in CYPE programs in the 2009.1.a version. The following new features have been implemented in the 2013.b version of CYPECAD:
More information on the detailed U.L.S. checks generated by CYPE programs, can be found in the Detailed ultimate limit state check reports page.
The 2013 version and successive versions will count with an advance export to IFC format (Industry Foundation Classes). Included in this export are the various components of the structural elements which are designed in CYPECAD. For example, joists, forms, infilled zones of the different types of floor slabs; the elements constituting the steel joints, etc. This way, users will be able to visualise in their CAD/BIM program, all the components of the structural elements which are designed in CYPECAD.
The first step in the process has been achieved in the 2013.a version, whereby the joists of the different types of joist floor slab are exported to IFC format (reinforced, prestressed, in situ, steel and open-web joists). The export of these elements to IFC format also implies they are represented in the 3D views provided by CYPECAD.
Within the Export to IFC dialogue box (File > Export > IFC), users can activate the export of the joists and choose amongst four IFC format variations for generating the export file:
In the export process, CYPECAD assigns different colours to the materials of the structural elements which are exported (concrete, steel, aluminium, timber, masonry walls, generic bars from integrated 3D structures). When exporting to Archicad, textures are also generated for each material.

Projeto de estruturas resistentes a sismos - Procedimento.
Implemented in CYPECAD and Metal 3D.
ABNT NBR 14762:2010 (Brazil)
Dimensionamento de estruturas de aço constituídas por perfis formados a frio.
This Brazilian code has been implemented for cold formed steel sections. The sections which can be used are the same as those available with the NBR 14762:2001 code, which is currently no longer in force. Both codes are implemented in CYPECAD, Metal 3D and the Portal Frame Generator.
ABNT NBR 8800:2008 (Brazil)
Projeto de estruturas de aço e de estruturas mistas de aço e concreto de edificios.
As of the 2012.b version, Composite sections have been included for this Brazilian code. The ABNT NBR 8800:2008 code was implemented in previous versions for the design of welded and bolted connections resolved by the Joints I, Joints II, Joints III, Joints IV and Joints V modules, and for the design of rolled and welded simple steel sections in CYPECAD and Metal 3D.
