StruBIM Steel

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.

A series of optimisations have been implemented in version 2024.b in the use and management of sheets. This reduces waiting times when accessing the sheets and using their tools.

As of version 2024.b, the "Design options" panel includes the "Save as default settings" option. If this option is activated and the panel is accepted, all the settings in this dialogue are saved as default values, so that any subsequent new job will initially have the same values.

An option to delete continuous dimensions intermediate points has been implemented. When selecting the "Modify geometry" option and clicking on a continuous dimension, the dimension intermediate points will be shown in red. If an intermediate point is selected, it will disappear and the two adjacent sections will be connected.

In version 2024.b, sections and plates can be automatically dimensioned in part sheets, and plates can be automatically dimensioned in connection sheets. For this purpose, in the "Insert predefined views" dialogue ("3D Scene" > "Insert predefined views"), the "Dimension" section has been implemented. Here, the "Dimension style" is defined. When accepting the "Insert predefined views" dialogue with the "Dimension" option activated, the dimensions of the inserted predefined views of part sheets are automatically added along with the dimensions of the predefined views of plates on connection sheets.

"Specification for Structural Steel Buildings" (2022).

Implemented in:

  • CYPECAD and CYPE 3D for analysing and checking rolled and reinforced steel sections.
  • CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel for analysing and checking steel connections.

In version 2024.b, the section types supported in CYPE Connect and in the StruBIM Steel connection editor have been increased. Built-up constant depth I sections and built-up variable depth I sections, both with the possibility to define different flanges, have been implemented.

In CYPE Connect, the new type "Built-up section with rolled steel plates" has been added. When it is selected, the available sections will be the variable depth I sections and variable depth I sections. To define the variable depth I sections, the initial edge, the final edge and the length of the bar must be specified. When the bar is continuous, the position where the connection will be placed must also be defined.

In the connection editor (both in CYPE Connect and in StruBIM Steel), when the selected bar is a built-up section, the "Adjust bar" operation allows users to adjust all the plates of the section or only the selected plate.

As of version 2024.b, the continuous bars defined as "Bearing" bars of the node, offer the possibility of defining forces at the end that has no external connection defined.

Up until version 2024.b, when using the "Copy" tool, any element except those previously entered with this tool could be selected as a reference. As of version 2024.b, the "Copy" tool allows the selection of previously copied elements as a reference.

Up until version 2024.b, the "Assign tag" tool allowed users to assign a selection of tags to a selection of elements. The selected tags were applied to the elements and the unselected tags were deleted. In version 2024.b, new options have been added:

  • Assign the selection of tags
    This option offers the same result as in previous versions. Selected tags are assigned and unselected tags are deleted if they were previously selected.

  • Add to the selection of tags
    The selected tags are added to the elements, keeping the previously defined tags.

  • Remove the selection of tags
    The selected tags are removed from the elements, keeping the rest of the tags.

In version 2024.b, a new option has been implemented to export a selection of operations to the connection library. This export creates a library connection with the selected operations and the sections involved in these operations.

The "Lateral plate" operation has been implemented. This allows sections to be joined together by means of a plate welded to one of them and bolted to the other. Up until version 2024.b, 4 operations were necessary for each lateral plate, an adjustment of the secondary bar, the insertion of a plate, a weld between the plate and the main bar and a group of bolts between the plate and the secondary bar. With this implementation, one of the most commonly used types of connection is automated.
