CYPEPLUMBING Water Systems
In the previous version of CYPEPLUMBING Water Systems, the program did not represent vertical spans reaching consumption points in the 3D view nor did it export them to IFC format (although they were taken into account in the analysis and design). As of this version (2018.g), these vertical spans are represented in the 3D view and are exported to the IFC that is generated by the program.

Decreto Regulamentar n.º 23/95 (Regulamento Geral dos Sistemas Públicos e Prediais de Distribuição de Água e de Drenagem de Águas Residuais).
The DR n.º 23/95 was already implemented as of previous versions in CYPECAD MEP. As of the 2018.f version, it is also included in CYPEPLUMBING Water Systems (new program implemented in this version). More information can be found in the CYPEPLUMBING Water Systems section.
Règles de calcul des installations de plomberie sanitaire et d'eaux pluviales. Partie 1-1 : réseaux d'alimentation d'eau froide et chaude sanitaire.
Implemented in CYPEPLUMBING Water Systems (new program included in this version). More information can be found in the CYPEPLUMBING Water Systems section.
Código Técnico de la Edificación. Documento Básico HS 4. Suministro de agua
The CTE DB HS 4 code was already implemented as of previous versions in CYPECAD MEP. As of the 2018.f version, it is also included in CYPEPLUMBING Water Systems (new program implemented in this version). More information can be found in the CYPEPLUMBING Water Systems section.
CYPEPLUMBING Water Systems can be downloaded from the BIMserver.center platform.
This program is also available in the main CYPE program menu that is installed using the file that can be downloaded from the CYPE download area webpage.
CYPEPLUMBING Water Systems is a program created to assist project designers with the design and analysis of potable water supply installations. It is integrated in the Open BIM workflow using the IFC standard.
The program can perform a partial or complete design of the installations of any type of building. It contains predefined equipment catalogues and allows for user catalogues to be introduced and configured.
It generates floor drawings, results and quantity reports for pipes and equipment that can be exported to FIEBDC-3 format.
CYPEPLUMBING Water Systems carries out the hydraulic analysis using “Darcy and Weisbach” equations and calculates the friction factor using the Colebrook and White formula. The program analyses the installation assembly and calculates gross and simultaneous quantities of flow, where users can define the simultaneity factor.
In its first version, the program includes predefined configurations to comply with the following codes: CTE DB HS 4 (Spain), NF DTU 60.11 (France), DR n.º 23/95 (RGSPPDADAR – Portugal). Design checks can also be configured to comply with other standard limits or limits imposed by users.
