Data entry

Free modelling/with templates

• Designing the system using 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 generates the floor plan of the building, import the layout of the spaces (the thermal loads can be estimated directly or associated with the thermal load values calculated in stand-alone programs) and allows users to enter the system elements based on the building geometry. The following options are available:
  • Importing models designed in CYPE Architecture.
  • Importing models designed in IFC Builder. 
  • Importing models in IFC format with IFC Uploader (generated by CAD/BIM programs such as Allplan, ArchiCAD and others).
  • Importing models designed in Autodesk Revit with the Open BIM - Revit Plugin.
  • If the architectural model is generated by IFC Builder or CYPE Architecture, users can also import the DXF or DWG templates contained in that model, or the one generated by the program itself (from the building elements entered) when a model is exported to the BIM project.
• Importing the results of programs that can analyse thermal loads so that they can be used in the system design. The available options include the following:
  • Importing thermal loads from CYPETHERM LOADS.
  • Importing thermal loads from CYPECAD MEP.
• Importing manifolds from programs that can model and design the radiant floor system. Among the options available are the following, which include BIM programs from radiant floor manufacturers:
  • Importing manifolds from CYPEHVAC Radiant Floor.
  • Importing manifolds from Open BIM GIACOMINI.
  • Importing manifolds from Open BIM ORKLI Radiant Floor.
  • Importing manifolds from Open BIM POLYTHERM.
  • Importing manifolds from Open BIM ROTH.
  • Importing manifolds from Open BIM SAUNIER DUVAL.

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 CYPEHVAC to the BIMserver.center platform using IFC and glTF formats. This allows it to be viewed by authorised project participants.
