Up until version 2024.c, bars entered with the "Bar" operation always had their origin located at the start of the bar. As of version 2024.c, if the "Centre longitudinally" option is activated, the origin will be at the centre of the bar.

The editing of the origin of the local reference system of openings, bolts and anchors has been implemented. Above the coordinate editing table, the "Origin" section appears with the editing of the "X" and "Y" displacements and the rotation angle. These displacements are applied to the group of elements contained in the table. For bolts, the original reference system corresponds to that of the first plate, for anchors and openings it corresponds to that of the selected plate.
As of version 2024.c, the "Adjust bar" operation includes the option for adjusting bars to the envelope of other bars. Up until version 2024.c, to make a similar adjustment in the case of the web of an open section, users had to adjust and apply a displacement, which varies according to the width of the bar.
As of version 2024.c, the "Reference plane" operation includes the "Edge" option to define reference planes on the edge of a plate.
As of version 2024.c, the "Reference plane" operation includes the "Intersection (Envelope)" option to define reference planes at the intersection between a bar and the envelope of another bar. This plane can be used as a reference for attaching plates, adjusting bars, etc.
Options existing up to 2024.c allow planes to be defined in any position, the advantage of using these new options is that the position of the plane is referenced to other elements so that if the dimensions or the position of the bars change, the position of the plane will also change. This is particularly useful when combined with the use of the connection library.
As of version 2024.c, the "Reference plane" operation includes the "Intersection" option for defining reference planes at the intersection between a bar and one of the plates in another bar.
As of version 2024.c, the "Reference plane" operation includes the "Bisector" option to define reference planes on the bisector of the two bars defined by the user. This plane can be used as a reference for attaching plates, adjusting bars for splices, etc.
A new operation has been implemented to move bars or plates taking another element as a reference. This operation has two options, to move in the direction of the "z" axis or to move in the "xy" plane of the selected element. By means of these movements, the position of one element is linked to another. Should the reference element change its dimensions or position, the selected element will automatically move with it.
- In the Z axis
Moves a plate or a bar, starting from the selection of one of its plates, in parallel until one of its faces attaches to the face of another element. To perform this movement, both faces must be parallel.
- In the XY plane
Moves a plate, in its plane, until one of its edges reaches the plane defined by the face of another plate. It also moves a bar, from the selection of one of its plates, in the plane of the plate until one of its edges reaches the plane defined by the face of another plate.
As of 21 September 2023, all downloads of the CYPE Connect and StruBIM Steel applications (versions 2024.b and later) from the the BIMserver.center platform will be available for installation in German and Japanese.
These applications can now be installed in the following languages:
- Catalan
- English
- French
- German
- Italian
- Japanese
- Polish
- Portuguese
- Russian
- Spanish
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.
