Workflows supported by the program
As CYPEFIRE Hydraulic Systems is an Open BIM tool that is connected to the BIMserver.center platform, CYPEFIRE Hydraulic Systems offers different workflow options.
Data entry
Free definition
- Defining the elements in the model and their characteristics by means of free entry in CYPEHVAC.
- System design in CYPEHVAC based on DXF-DWG, DWF templates or images (.jpeg, .jpg, .bmp, .wmf).
Importing BIM models
If the CYPEHVAC job is linked to a BIM project from the BIMserver.center platform, the following tasks can be carried out:
- Importing the model with the geometry of a building. This makes it possible to generate the layout of the building and to import the layout of the spaces and assign them a specific type, in order to subsequently enter the system elements (such as supply points and elements, water distribution networks and consumptions such as sprinklers, fire hose reels, emitters and wet riser outlets) based on this geometry. The following options are available:
- Importing models designed in CYPE Architecture.
- Importing models designed in IFC Builder.
- Importing models in IFC format (generated by CAD/BIM programs such as Allplan, ArchiCAD and others) uploaded to the BIMserver.center project via the web platform.
- Importing models designed in Autodesk Revit with the Open BIM - Revit Plugin.
- Importing the layout of the fire hose reels and the inlet and/or outlet openings of dry and wet risers from the model, if these elements are available. This will subsequently assist in the insertion of these elements using the program's own options.
- Importing sprinkler installation requirements for spaces from the analysis results of the programs that define and validate fire protection systems:
- Importing sprinkler installation requirements in spaces from models that have been analysed in CYPEFIRE.
Data output
- Exporting reports to HTML, DOCX, PDF, RTF and TXT formats.
- Exporting drawings to DXF, DWG and PDF formats.
- Exporting the bill of quantities to FIEBDC-3 format.
- Exporting the information generated with CYPEFIRE Hydraulic Systems to the BIMserver.center platform using IFC formats. This allows it to be viewed by authorised project participants.
- CYPEFIRE FDS
Imports the layout of the CYPEFIRE Hydraulic Systems sprinklers.
