Update history​​

Foundation elements

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.

"Norma Técnica Complementaria para Diseño y Construcción de Estructuras de Hormigón".

Implemented in CYPECAD, CYPE 3D, Foundation elements, Punching shear verification, StruBIM Cantilever Walls and StruBIM Embedded Walls.

The following modifications have been made to the availability of the applications from the CYPE Menu.

New:

  • CYPEHVAC Schematics

  • ELODIE by CYPE (Only in the CYPE Menu in French)

Deleted:

  • CYPELEC Core, CYPELEC REBT, CYPELEC NF and CYPELEC RETIE. They are joined together in a single program called CYPELEC.

  • CYPESOUND CTE, CYPESOUND NRA, CYPESOUND RRAE, CYPESOUND DRAPDE. They are integrated into CYPESOUND.

  • CYPEURBAN. Available for download and installation from the BIMserver.center platform.

  • IFC Uploader. New contributions can now be created directly from the project page on the BIMserver.center platform.

  • CYPEFIRE FDS Viewer. CYPEFIRE FDS can be used to view FDS simulations.

The "Updates" option has been implemented in the main CYPE Menu window. Thanks to this tool, multiple updates of installed applications can be carried out via the CYPE Menu.


When clicking on the “Updates” option, a window opens with a list of all installed applications. Select a set of them and, after clicking "Accept", the update process will start.

During this process, progress is displayed in the main CYPE Menu window indicating the current status of the update.

If an update is available for the CYPE Menu itself, it is shown below the list of applications to be updated. However, it is important to note that the update of the CYPE Menu is carried out on its own.


This new feature makes application maintenance easier, ensuring that the latest improvements are always available.

Norma Brasileira ABNT NBR 6118 (2014). Projeto de estruturas de concreto – Procedimento.

Implemented in CYPECADCYPE 3D (Metal 3D), Punching shear verification, Stairs, Flat slabs, Corbels, Great depth beams, Foundation elements and Continuous beams.

The tool, Strut3D, was implemented in the 2013.e version, and allows users to check (in CYPECAD and Metal 3D – using the Pile Caps module) pile caps using a general analysis method that analyses the D regions of the reinforced concrete using a strut and tie model. This tool was only available for use with the EHE-08 (Spain) code. Now, with the 2014.b version, the tool has been implemented for use with the following concrete codes:

  • ACI 318M­08 (USA)
    Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete.
  • Nch430.Of2008 (Chile)
    Norma Chilena oficial NCh430.Of2008.
  • NTE E.060: 2009 (Perú)
    Reglamento Nacional de Edificaciones. Norma E.060 Concreto Armado (2009).
  • NSR­10 (Colombia)
    Reglamento Colombiano de Construcción Sismo Resistente NSR-10. Título C - Concreto estructural.

Reglamento Colombiano de Construcción Sismo Resistente NSR-10. Título C ‑ Concreto estructural.

Implemented in CYPECADMetal 3DStairsFoundation elements, and Continuous beams.

CYPECAD's advanced column and beam editors are also available with this code.
