Update history
CYPEHVAC
In this new version, the air terminals available in CYPEHVAC have been extended with the addition of supply and exhaust valves.
These elements are mainly used in controlled mechanical ventilation (CMV) systems.
Users can incorporate these elements into the system from the "Outlet" option in the "Air distribution" section, available once a manufacturer's catalogue has been downloaded via the "Catalogue management" button.
In version 2025.b, both supply and extract/return diffusers have been included in duct systems, so both supply and extract/return diffusers can now be inserted in CYPEHVAC.
Also, from the "Catalogue management" option, different diffuser manufacturer's catalogues can be downloaded. These new catalogues, which have been incorporated in this new version, contain a 3D view of the diffuser geometry, as well as the spigots and their design data.
Users can add these elements to the system by clicking on the "Diffuser" button in the "Air distribution" section.
The "Air source heat pump" report includes the result of the calculation of the additional refrigerant charge for each of the bibloc air source heat pump systems in the installation, according to the specifications of the selected manufacturer.
With the "Catalogue management" option, the Baxi, Bosch, Daikin, Fujitsu, Midea, Mitsubishi Electric, Saunier Duval, Saunier Duval and Vaillant fan heater system catalogues can be downloaded.
In version 2025.b, these products are available under the "Equipment" button in the "Air source heat pump" section of the toolbar, and monobloc and bibloc air source heat pump systems are also available.
The Daikin ground source heat pump system catalogue has also been included. This equipment can be used in the system via the "Water to water heat pump" button ("Generators" button in the "Water-based air conditioning" section).
As of version 2025.b, applications now display a warning message in their initial window when a new update is available. This message provides information about the "installed version" and the "available version", together with a direct link to the Store page of the BIMserver.center web platform.
Clicking on the “Upgrade to the latest version” button automatically starts the download and installation process of the application. This feature ensures that the most current version of the program is always being used, thus benefiting from the latest improvements.
This method replaces the automatic notification and update process of a new version in the BIMserver.center programs available in previous versions.
As of version 2025.b, Open BIM Quantities allows users to set the visibility of the “Price” and ”Amount” columns in several windows, including the ”Bill of quantities” table, the ”Project database” and the ”Cost databases”.
This configuration is done from the "Columns" option of the "Visualisation" group in the toolbar. Users can choose to hide or show these columns according to their needs, resulting in a more personalised interface focused on the relevant information for each type of project.
This feature is particularly useful for bills of quantities without prices.
A new report called “Bill of quantities (Table)” has been added to the “BoQ Reports” available from the toolbar in the “Bill of quantities” tab.
This report includes all the concepts defined in the project in a table with the following columns:
- Code
- Description
- Unit
- Quantity
- Price
- Amount
In the configuration panel for each application, a direct link to its page in the BIMserver.center web store has been included.
By clicking on the “Go to BIMserver.center Store” button, users are redirected directly to the corresponding page in the Store, where they can learn more about the application, view its features, read reviews from other users and see examples of real contributions.
This feature provides easy access to additional resources and support, enhancing the user experience by providing quick and easy access to all relevant information about the applications.
An information message has been incorporated into the installation button of the applications so that, before proceeding with the installation, users can identify which applications are free to use (free of charge) and which require licensing permissions (including paid modules).
This enhancement improves the user experience by providing clarity and transparency on the options available to the user based on their license model.
In the new 2025.b version of CYPE Menu, the background installation feature has been added. Users can now continue working on other tasks while applications are automatically installed in the background.
During the background installation process, the “Installing program” message is displayed next to the applications button in the main CYPE Menu window. Once completed, the message disappears and the application can be run.
This feature is designed to make applications easier to use and manage, improving productivity and the overall experience by minimising waiting time and interruptions during the installation of new applications or upgrades.
The definition of air duct fittings has been improved. They are now classified as "custom-made" and from "manufacturer's catalogue".
Customised fittings are mainly used to join customised rectangular rigid ducts, although they can also be used for other types of ducts if manufacturer's fittings are not available.
In the manufacturer's catalogue fittings, users can find the fittings, with their references, that each manufacturer has in its catalogue.
With the "Generate fittings" tool found in the "Fittings" menu, the program automatically generates the duct fittings, using the ASHRAE database and choosing the catalogue, the material and the selection of the ducts being connected. If the ducts are custom rectangular rigid ducts, the program generates a custom ASHRAE fitting with the ducts' characteristics. If the ducts are not customised, the program browses the manufacturer's catalogue for the fitting to be used to join those ducts, and, if the corresponding fitting is not found, the program generates an ASHRAE fitting that must be reviewed by the user to indicate the material and selection.
