Checks on “Risk zones” have been added in the “Checks” section of the “General settings” panel.
In this version, risk zones are defined based on their description and the fire resistance of the structure. In upcoming versions, the definition of risk zones will be expanded so to reach a similar level as for zones, which will allow users to indicate fire safety installations (fire extinguishers, sprinkler systems, detectors, etc.) and communication with other zones via safe zones.
The following types of projects, belonging to the Moroccan code: “Règlement de sécurité contre les risques d’incendie et de panique dans les constructions”, have been added:
As of the 2018.e version, CYPEFIRE Design generates the “Fire safety installation project”. In this document, the program includes detailed check reports which display the titles, descriptions of each section and references of the articles of the design code (Compartmentation, External propagation, Evacuation routes, Fire safety installations, Firefighter accessibility). The “Checks” report (available as of previous versions), only displays a summary in tables of the checks carried out in each section.
CYPEFIRE Design is a program that has been created to help project designers during the design and verification process of the properties of the building and fire safety installations.
CYPEFIRE Design can be downloaded at the BIMserver.center platform.
In its first version, CYPEFIRE Design allows users to design and analyse fire safety installations in accordance with the Moroccan code: “Règlement de sécurité contre les risques d’incendie et de panique dans les constructions”, for which the code limits can be edited.
More codes from other countries will be added in upcoming versions (also with the option to edit the code limits). Users will have the possibility to define personalised design configurations to verify codes that have not been included previously in the program.
The graphical interface allows users to quickly create and edit the main properties of a fire safety project (Sector compartmentation, limit outdoor propagation, evacuation means for occupants, protection installation, access for firemen, etc.)
CYPEFIRE Design is integrated in the Open BIM workflow using the IFC standard.
