As of the 2020.a version of "CYPEHVAC Schematics", users can customize the colour and appearance of the lines of the pipe paths.
Furthermore, with the new "Copy format" tool, the same properties can be assigned to other elements (colour, line type, flow, temperature).
Sometimes users may wish to represent an element of the diagram with a symbol that is different from the default symbol that comes in the ASHRAE database. This may be due to several reasons: customer requirements, to continue with the symbols used in a rehabilitation project or the designer's own custom.
As of the 2020.a version, it is possible to design symbols and assign them to elements.
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 Schematics is a free program designed to draw the circuit diagrams of hydronic air conditioning systems. The components are represented using symbols in accordance with ASHRAE standards.
In previous versions, CYPETHERM HVAC was the program that provided the tools to draw these diagrams in the “Circuit diagrams” tab. As of the 2019.a version, these tools have been removed from CYPETHERM HVAC to be implemented in the new "CYPETHERM Schematics" application. The design process of pipes that was carried out in the "Circuit diagrams" tab is still done in CYPETHERM HVAC.
CYPETHERM Schematics is not just a tool for drawing circuit diagrams. It has important advantages compared to conventional drawing programs and these are:
CYPETHERM Schematics is integrated in the Open BIM workflow using the IFC standard. It exports the documents containing information on the circuit diagrams of the included equipment to the BIM model.
CYPETHERM Schematics can be downloaded from the BIMserver.center platform.
