Metal 3D clásico

Improved code application. L and Z cold-formed sections for AISI/NASPEC-2007 (LRFD) (USA), AISI/NASPEC-2007 (LRFD) (Mexico) and CAN/CSA S136-07 (Canada)

  • AISI/NASPEC-2007 (LRFD) (USA)
    North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members.
  • AISI/NASPEC-2007 (LRFD) (México)
    North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members. S136-07 Endorsed in Mexico by CANACERO.
  • CAN/CSA S136-07 (Canadá)
    North American Specification for the Design of Cold-Formed Steel Structural Members. Approved in Canada by the Canadian Standards Association CSA.

These design standards were already implemented in CYPECAD and Metal 3D. As of the 2014.i version, the program implements the design of L and Z-shaped cold-formed sections.

Code implementation. NZS 4600:2005 (New Zealand)

New Zealand Standard™ Cold-formed steel structures.

Implemented in CYPECAD and Metal 3D.

Code implementation. AS 4600:2005 (Australia)

Australian StandardTM Cold-formed steel structures.

Implemented in CYPECAD and Metal 3D.

Code implementation. SP 63.13330.2012 (Russia)

Concrete and reinforced concrete. Construction. Updated edition SNIP 52-01-2003. Moscow 2012.

Implemented in CYPECADMetal 3D and Continuous beams.

For this code, CYPECAD, Metal 3D and Continuous beams allow for:

  • Additional loadcases to be added for special frost loads.
  • A percentage of the load to be defined as long-term loading, for live load and snow loadcases.
  • The advanced beam editor (CYPECAD) to be used 
  • The advanced column editor (CYPECAD) to be used 

If the Russian concrete code is used together with its corresponding seismic code (СНиП II-7-81 – implemented in the 2014.b version), the ductility reinforcement criteria and capacity design criteria for bending of concrete columns are taken into account.

Code implementation. ABNT NBR 6118 Projeto Junho 2013 (Brazil)

Projeto de estruturas de concreto - Procedimento.

This document is a project revision of the ABNT NBR 6118 2007 code, which is currently not in force, however it is foreseen that it will substitute the current standard.

It has been implemented in CYPECAD (including Strut3D) and Metal 3D.

Code implementation. NSR-10 (Colombia) (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.

Code implementation ABNT NBR 14762:2010 (Brazil)

ABNT NBR 14762:2010 (Brazil)
Dimensionamento de estruturas de aço constituídas por perfis formados a frio.

This Brazilian code has been implemented for cold formed steel sections. The sections which can be used are the same as those available with the NBR 14762:2001 code, which is currently no longer in force. Both codes are implemented in CYPECAD, Metal 3D and the Portal Frame Generator.

Improved code application. ABNT NBR 8800:2008 (Brazil)

ABNT NBR 8800:2008 (Brazil)
Projeto de estruturas de aço e de estruturas mistas de aço e concreto de edificios.

As of the 2012.b version, Composite sections have been included for this Brazilian code. The ABNT NBR 8800:2008 code was implemented in previous versions for the design of welded and bolted connections resolved by the Joints I, Joints II, Joints III, Joints IV and Joints V modules, and for the design of rolled and welded simple steel sections in CYPECAD and Metal 3D.
