CYPEFIRE Pressure Systems

Links to the BIMserver.center platform

From the BIMserver.center project information window (displayed by clicking on the project name shown in the project information bar - upper right part of the application window) you can access the project page of the BIMserver.center platform via a link that has been inserted in the text indicating the project name.

Likewise, from the information window about the project contributions ("Contributions" option in the project information window), users can access the page of each contribution in the BIMserver.center platform. These links are inserted in the texts indicating the name of each contribution.

Notifications on the project status

The status information bar of the BIMserver.center project is located at the top right of the window of the programs included in the Open BIM workflow. This bar has been available in the applications since version 2022.e and shows a warning icon when there is a problem with the connection to the project, as well as other things. Now, in version 2024.b, users can obtain more information about the warning by hovering the mouse cursor over the icon.

Creating BIMserver.center Corporate projects

As of version 2024.b, users can create projects associated with a "BIMserver.center Corporate" account from all CYPE applications included in the Open BIM workflow. To do this, the "Owner" field has been added to the window for creating a new project. This is a drop-down menu that includes, as one of the available options, the logged-in BIMserver.center user name along with the "BIMserver.center Corporate" accounts to which it has access. When selecting the user name as the owner, the project will be associated with this personal account, as was the case in previous versions. On the other hand, if a BIMserver.center Corporate account is selected, the project will be associated with that account.

Clear cache

The "Clear cache" button has been added to the CYPE applications included in the Open BIM workflow in the "Configuration" dialogue box that opens with the following sequence of commands: Select any of the options in the "BIMserver.center" tool group > "Configuration" option in the dialogue box that appears. When clicking on "Clear cache", the following options are displayed:

Projects
Deletes projects, contributions and documents downloaded from the platform that are in the "File directory stored in local cache".
Sessions
Deletes the data of any active sessions. This action will require applications to be re-authorised to access BIMserver.center.
Log files
Deletes transaction logging from applications with BIMserver.center.

Long access paths

In previous versions, file paths used by applications were limited to a maximum length of 256 characters. This restriction is not specific to CYPE tools but is set by default in the Windows file system. As of version 2024.b, CYPE applications can bypass the restriction and allow the use of an extended path length for a maximum total path length of 10,000 characters. This eliminates the problems caused by the default limit and allows users to work with long access paths.

This improvement is particularly useful when working on projects with a complex directory structure or with long file names. By allowing longer paths, CYPE applications offer greater flexibility in file organisation.

Program user guide

A "User guide" has been included in the application, and can be accessed from the Help menu. The guide includes basic information to get to know all the program tools and how they work.

Discharge grilles

The element "Grilles" has been included and can be checked in accordance with the design code. Grilles must be entered inside stairwells for the air discharge to be uniform.

For protected lobbies, a grille must be introduced for each one.

Design load case

As of the 2020.e version, "CYPEFIRE Pressure Systems" includes the "Generate load case" option when a pressure system is being entered.

This new tool generates the "door open" load cases, in accordance with that indicated in the EN 12101-6 standard.

CYPEFIRE Pressure Systems (new program)

"CYPEFIRE Pressure Systems" is an application developed to carry out the checks described in EN 12101-6, which establishes the requirements of a stair overpressure installation.

The application has the System A, B, C, D and E classes that are included in the standard so to perform all the checks that are required for each of them.

"CYPEFIRE Pressure Systems" generates a report for each system, providing details on each system, an estimate of leaks through doors, windows and walls, the flow obtained for each design criteria, etc.

"CYPEFIRE Pressure Systems" can be downloaded from the BIMserver.center platform and installed in Catalan, English, French, Italian, Portuguese, Portuguese from Brazil, Spanish, Spanish from Argentina or Spanish from Mexico.
