As of version 2024.f, the CYPE Menu tool (available on the BIMserver.centre platform Store) allows users to manage the updates of the applications it includes.
When accessing the CYPE Menu, the program checks whether there is a newer version of the installed applications and, if so, the "Update" option appears next to them.
The update process will download the application and, once completed, will start the installation.
CYPE apps have keyboard shortcuts common to all programs. In versions before 2024.e, each program displayed the keyboard shortcuts for each app via the "Search and activation of commands and options" in the top left-hand corner of the programs.
As of version 2024.e, the "Shortcuts for all applications" tab has been implemented in the dialogue box displayed when selecting this option and it shows all the keyboard shortcuts common to CYPE apps.
All CYPE programs can be installed in their different versions (Professional Version, Evaluation Version, Campus Version, Temporary License). In previous versions, users could only choose the type of version to be installed from the classic CYPE menu.
As of version 2024.a, the selection of version types has been implemented in all CYPE programs on the BIMserver.center platform.
As of version 2024.d, this selection can be made during the installation of all CYPE programs, regardless of where they are downloaded.
As of version 2024.b, CYPETHERM HYGRO can read the construction systems contained in the project from BIMserver.center. These can now be defined and shared in the project via the CYPE Construction Systems application.
To use the properties of a construction system from the project, a new button has been added to the "Building element" section in CYPETHERM HYGRO. When clicking on it, a list of all available construction systems from the project contributions is displayed. Once the element has been selected, the material layers and their properties are added automatically. This way, their internal surface resistance factor and interstitial condensation can be easily calculated.
As of version 2024.b, the CYPETHERM HYGRO and CYPETHERM BRIDGES applications can access the collaborative work platform BIMserver.center. A link can now be established with a BIMserver.center project and the "Report" generated by each application can be shared. For this purpose, the "BIMserver.center" group of options with the "Update" and "Share" buttons has been added to the toolbar of CYPETHERM HYGRO and CYPETHERM BRIDGES.
As of version 2024.b, the CYPETHERM HYGRO and CYPETHERM BRIDGES applications are now available for download from the BIMserver.center platform. In previous versions, they were only available in the classic menu of CYPE programs.
In previous versions, file paths used by applications were limited to a maximum length of 256 characters. This restriction is not specific to CYPE tools but is set by default in the Windows file system. As of version 2024.b, CYPE applications can bypass the restriction and allow the use of an extended path length for a maximum total path length of 10,000 characters. This eliminates the problems caused by the default limit and allows users to work with long access paths.
This improvement is particularly useful when working on projects with a complex directory structure or with long file names. By allowing longer paths, CYPE applications offer greater flexibility in file organisation.
CYPETHERM ISO 13788 (located in the Building Services group of the main CYPE program menu) is an easy-to-use application which allows users to analyse the internal surface resistance factor by taking into account the critical surface humidity and interstitial condensation in construction elements. The program carries out the analysis based on the hygrothermal behaviour of the building materials and products, and in accordance with the analysis method of the ISO 13788: 2012 code.
The main features of CYPETHERM ISO 13788 include: Analysis in accordance with EN ISO 13788, weather data import, material libraries and catalogues, and its analysis results.
More information on this new CYPE program can be found on the CYPETHERM ISO 13788 webpage.
