Update history​

CYPETHERM Improvements

Installation in Chinese

From 5 August 2022, in version 2023.b and subsequent versions, CYPETHERM EPlus and CYPETHERM Improvements can be installed in Chinese.

General improvements

Version 2021.g of CYPE’s programs is a closing version of the 2021 version.

As well as the new features and improvements expressly indicated in each version of CYPE software, process optimisation involving internal updates for all our programs is normally included. In each revision, all programs are systematically checked and changes are made to improve their performance, therefore, we recommend that our users (in this case those of v.2021) always update their version to the latest one, regardless of the country for which they are using CYPE software or the language in which it is installed.

64-bit Version

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.

Integration of CYPETHERM improvements in the Open BIM workflow

With the 2018.g version, CYPETHERM Improvements can be downloaded from the BIMserver.center platform and is included in the Open BIM workflow.

As occurred in previous versions, for CYPTHERM Improvements to carry out the analysis of improvement measures in building, it must import the required information from energy simulation CYPETHERM programs that use the EnergyPlus analysis engine (CYPETHERM HE Plus, CYPETHERM RECS Plus, and CYPETHERM EPlus), CYPETHERM C.E. of Italy, CYPETHERM REH of Portugal and CYPETHERM RT2012 and CYPETHERM RTExistant of France. This information can also be generated directly in CYPETHERM Improvements, but the most efficient way is to import it from the indicated programs.

In previous versions, this information was exported from the aforementioned programs and was imported in CYPETHERM Improvements using XML format files. Now, the version of CYPETHERM Improvements that is downloaded from the BIMserver.center platform obtains this information from the IFC files that are generated by CYPETHERM programs using the Open BIM workflow.

The version of CYPETHERM Improvements that is downloaded from the Download Area of the CYPE website continues to relate itself with CYPETHERM programs by interchanging XML format files.

Program downloads on the BIMserver.center platform

The following CYPE programs can be downloaded from the BIMserver.center platform:

  • CYPETHERM Improvements
    This program is also available in the general CYPE program menu, which is installed using the file that is available in the Download Area of the CYPE website.

    Please bear in mind that the version of CYPETHERM Improvements that is downloaded from the BIMserver.center is integrated in the “Open BIM” workflow, as is indicated in the new features of CYPETHERM Improvements of the 2018.g version of this webpage. However, the version of CYPETHERM Improvements that is downloaded from the Download Area of the CYPE website is not. For more information, please consult the new features section of the 2018.g version of CYPETHERM Improvements.
  • StruBIM Deep Beams
    This program is only available on the BIMserver.center platform.

CYPETHERM Improvements (new program)

This is a program conceived to carry out the energy audit of the building and analyse possible improvement measures with an energy and economic analysis of the different alternatives.

CYPETHERM Improvements was already included in the CYPE software package when it was installed in Italian and Portuguese. As of the 2017.i version, CYPETHERM Improvements is also available in Spanish, French and English. The user license must contain the corresponding permit for its use.

More information can be found in the CYPETHERM Improvements webpage.
