As of the 2020.f version, Open BIM Analytical Model maintains the space groups after analysing the analytical model using the automatic method. This way, users’ acts on the application are respected and several analyses can be carried out without re-entering the generated spaces in their corresponding groups.
The algorithm that automatically determines the analytical model of the building based on the architectural model. Amongst the adjustments that have been carried out is the increase of the level of precision in the detection of openings on surfaces and in the generation of the connections of construction elements.
This optimisation implies an increase in the quality of the information that can be read by CYPE thermal and sound analysis Open BIM applications.
Some CYPE OPEN BIM programs have a 3D workspace to enter the elements of the installation. This 3D interface is currently available in the following applications:
A user guide for the tools of this 3D workspace is published with the 2020.f version.

"Open BIM Analytical Model" is an application developed to generate analytical geometric models of buildings in order to carry out their energy and acoustic analysis.
The programme allows users to enter all the elements that make up the analytical model, such as spaces, surfaces, edges, junctions, etc. It is also possible to indicate the existing relationships between these entities (which spaces they belong to, adjacencies between surfaces, edges that form a junction etc).
If there is a BIM project located on the BIMserver.center platform that has an architectural model, "Open BIM Analytical Model" allows specialist users to make use of the automatic generation process and modify the elements they consider necessary to adapt them to their needs.
In order to take into account the different thermal and acoustic requirements, the application allows users to define different space groups for the same analytical model (for example, a group depending on use units and another depending on thermal zone criteria).
The defined analytical model can be exported to the Open BIM project that is located on the BIMserver.center platform, which can then be interpreted and imported by Open BIM applications that are dedicated to the thermal and acoustic analysis of buildings.
