Data entry

Open design

• Free network design by manually entering the coordinates of the nodes and drawing the sections that make up the system in CYPE Sewerage.
• Free network design by entering nodes and segments using DXF-DWG or DWF templates, or images (.jpeg, .jpg, .bmp, .wmf) imported into CYPE Sewerage.

Automatic generation of installation geometry from DXF/DWG files

• Import a DXF or DWG file via "Import", "Geometry", and automatically generate the installation geometry based on the information contained within it. This file must use the metre as its drawing unit, and the grid must be close to the coordinate origin. For this option, only the layers containing the sections you wish to use for the generation should be enabled.

Importing data from BIMserver.center

If you link the CYPE Sewerage model to a BIM project on the BIMserver.center platform, you can perform the following actions:

• Importing terrain topography data if the BIM model contains an IFC file with the appropriate features. This allows the topography to be visualised in the 3D view of CYPE Sewerage, displays contour lines in plan view within the general interface workspace, and utilises the imported topography during the data entry process, automatically identifying the elevation values of new nodes entered on it. The available options include the following:
  • Importing topographic models in IFC format generated by Open BIM Site.
  • Importing topographic models in IFC format generated by other software (such as Aplitop’s TcpMDT applications available on BIMserver.center) and uploaded to the BIMserver.center project via the web platform. The terrain data must be defined as an IfcGeographicElement entity in an IFC4 file.

Data output

• Export reports to HTML, DOCX, PDF, RTF and TXT formats.
• Exporting drawings to DXF, DWG and PDF formats.
• Exporting data generated using CYPE Sewerage to the BIMserver.center platform in IFC and GLTF formats. This enables authorised project stakeholders to view the data.
