CYPEPLUMBING

Until now, the programs could only generate the global bill of quantities of the project.

Now, as of the 2020.f version, by applying filters, tags can be assigned to the elements of the installation, which allow for partial measurements and bills of quantities to be generated using the options in the "Bill of quantities" tab.

For example, a bill of quantities can be generated for each block of buildings, each floor or for specific elements of the installation.

An important tool amongst those used to assign these tags to the elements of the installation is the one that provides the graphical 2D and 3D view of the filtered elements. This way, users can quickly identify if these tags have been assigned correctly or not.

When users introduce vertical pipes, the program automatically tags the initial and final elevation of the direction of flow of the liquid they are carrying (unless these elevations are blocked).

The “Edit” tool has been included in the “Pipes” section of the toolbar (for vertical pipes), with which users can view and edit, in a single window, all the spans of the vertical pipe they select.

"Cleanouts" and "Air vents" could already be introduced in previous versions, but users could not customize their symbols or their reference, nor define their type of drainage (foul water, rainwater, grey water...).

As of the 2020.b version, the "Accessory" icon has been included in the "Design and check options to be carried out" section of the "General options" panel. By selecting this icon, users can define the properties of cleanouts, air vents, water seals.

Furthermore, the "Accessories" section has been included in the toolbar, which contains the icons to introduce the accessories that have been defined in "General Options", in the network.

The 2020.b version allows users to use manifolds. Manifolds are accessories that have a water inlet and several outlets.

As occurs with other accessories, for user to be able to use manifolds in the program, they have to define them first in “General options” > “Accessories” (predefined manifolds already exists in the predefined configurations for Spain and Portugal).

To introduce them in the installation, the “Manifold” button has been added to the “Water supply” section of the toolbar.

The method to calculate localized load losses using the "Loss Coefficient" has been implemented. This method is added to the two that could be selected in previous versions.

In previous versions of the program slopes were indicated on drawings using the percentage symbol (%). Now the slope can be represented using the text "/ 100".

A node is generated automatically at pipe intersections.

Users can now introduce pipe spans consecutively. Until now they had to be introduced one by one.

As of the 2020.a version of "CYPEPLUMBING Sanitary Systems", users can view the fill level, in the 3D view, of the horizontal pipes of the wastewater network.

As of the 2020.a version, CYPEPLUMBING Sanitary Systems and CYPEPLUMBING Water Systems can carry out the automatic selection of the design criteria for horizontal pipes in all the zones of the installation.

To do so, the “Design criteria” option has been implemented in the “Design options” dialogue, which users can activate or deactivate. By default, existing projects from previous versions will have this option deactivated and in new ones, it will be activated.

This automatic design criteria selection can be configured by users.

If the design criteria are not to be assigned to a specific span during the design process, users must select the span and block the automatic assignment of the design criteria by clicking on the design criteria padlock.

In the 3D view of "CYPEPLUMBING Sanitary Systems" and "CYPEPLUMBING Water Systems" an animation of the direction of the water flow can be seen. The velocity of the animation is proportional to the velocity of the water in each span.
