Data entry

Free modelling / with templates

• Designing the system by entering it freely in CYPELUX.
• Defining system in CYPELUX based on DXF/DWG, DWF templates or images (.jpeg, .jpg, .bmp, .wmf).

Importing BIM models

If the CYPELUX job is linked to a BIM project on the BIMserver.center platform, the following actions can be carried out:

• Importing the model with the building geometry. This allows users to generate the building’s floor plan and to enter the system’s elements based on this geometry. Users can also import the zones based on the spaces read from the BIM model and the layout of the glazed openings. The following options are available:
  • Importing models designed in IFC Builder.
  • Importing models designed in CYPE Architecture*.
  • 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.
    *Only if daylight does not need to be calculated.
  • If IFC Builder or CYPE Architecture generates the architectural model, users can also import the DXF or DWG templates contained in that model, or those generated by the same program (from the building elements entered) when a model is exported to the BIM project.

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 CYPELEC Electrical Mechanisms to the BIMserver.center platform using IFC and GLTF formats. The information can then be viewed by authorised project participants.
