Reading of floor distribution plans and the interior geometry of the architectural model
As of the 2019.h version, as well as displaying the 3D view of the architectural model, CYPEHVAC Ductwork obtains the distribution of the floors and the interior and exterior geometry from the model to show it in the 2D plans of each floor.
In “General options” > “External conditions”, users can edit the value of the air density or let the program calculate it depending on the height, as it has done previously.
As of the 2019.h version, users can use the ASHRAE connections library to introduce the losses generated in the installation by these elements.
“CYPEHVAC Ductwork” is a tool to carry out the analysis and design of duct network projects based on an architectural model located on the BIMserver.center platform.
“CYPEHVAC Ductwork” is integrated in the Open BIM workflow using the IFC standard.
In order to use the program, the user license must contain the “Air conditioning ducts” permit, which is the same permit that is used to design duct networks in “CYPETHERM HVAC” and “CYPECAD MEP”.
“CYPEHVAC Ductwork” can be downloaded from the BIMserver.center platform.
More information on this new application will be available shortly.
As of the 2019.f version, CYPE programs (those downloaded from our website and those downloaded from the BIMserver.center platform) are compiled for 64-bit systems. The 64-bit compilation of CYPE software implies the use of the superior features of 64-bit processors and operating systems compared to those of 32 bits.
Please bear in mind that you must have a 64-bit operating system to be able to work with any 64-bit software.
In any case and as a temporary measure, the 2019.f version is available in 64 and 32 bits on the download area of our webpage. The programs that can be downloaded from the BIMserver.center platform are only available in 64 bits. If you have a 64-bit operating system, you can work with either the 64-bit and 32-bit version of our software, although we strongly recommend that you install the 64-bit CYPE software version.
You can see which operating system is installed on your computer by clicking on "Control panel > System".
Since 64-bit microprocessors began to be massively introduced into personal computers from 2003 and from the Windows XP version, Microsoft already offers the two versions of its operating systems (32 and 64 bits). We understand that almost all our users will have computers with 64-bit processors (x64) and 64-bit operating systems.
It could occur that a user may wish to work with a computer with a 64-bit processor but with a 32-bit operating system. It would be very strange if the computer had a 32-bit processor (x86 - computers over 15 years old). If any of these is your case, we advise you to talk to your hardware or software provider to update your situation as soon as possible. However, you can download the 32-bit version and work with CYPE programs that can be downloaded from our website until your situation is up-to-date.
