Update history​​

CYPEHVAC Radiant Floor

As of the 2020.c version, users can import files in PDF format in CYPE programs to use them as drawing templates.

This way, PDF files join DWG, DXF and the most common image format files as files that can be used as templates on each floor.

The programs that can currently use this feature are:

  • CYPECAD MEP
  • IFC Builder
  • CYPEHVAC Radiant floor
  • GIACOMINI, ORKLI, POLYTHERM, ROTH, SAUNIER DUVAL and UPNOR Open BIM Systems.

In upcoming versions, this feature will be implemented in other CYPE programs in which data is introduced by floor.

The names of CYPETHERM Schematics and CYPETHERM Radiant floor have been changed to "CYPEHVAC Schematics" and "CYPEHVAC Radiant Floor", respectively.

The prefix CYPEHVAC is a better representation of the performance of these programs, which, although they may need a previous thermal analysis, are really related to the design of HVAC equipment (CYPEHVAC Schematics draws hydronic air conditioning systems principle circuits and CYPEHVAC Radiant Floor carried out the calculation of air conditioning systems with radiant floor heating systems).

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.

CYPETHERM Radiant floor is a program conceived to design air conditioning systems consisting of generic radiant floors.

It is included in the Open BIM workflow and can be downloaded from the BIMserver.center platform.

CYPETHERM Radiant floor replaces the tools that CYPETHERM HVAC had in previous versions to calculate hydronic radiant floor installations.

To use CYPETHERM Radiant floor, the user license must contain the “Radiant and cooling floor” permit.

More information on this new application will be available shortly.
