As CYPETEL is an Open BIM tool and is connected to the BIMserver.center platform, it offers a range of workflow options.

Data entry

Free-form modelling/modelling using templates

• Design the installation by entering the data directly into CYPETEL.
• Design the installation in CYPETEL using DXF/DWG, DWF, or image (.jpeg, .jpg, .bmp, .wmf) templates.

Importing BIM models

• Import a model containing a building’s geometry. This allows you to generate the building’s floor levels and floor plans and to add the installation elements based on that geometry. The available options include the following:
  • Import models designed in IFC Builder.
  • Import models designed in CYPE Architecture.
  • Import models in IFC format (generated by CAD/BIM software such as Allplan, ArchiCAD and others) uploaded to the BIMserver.center project via the web platform.
  • Import models designed in Autodesk Revit using the Open BIM - Revit plugin.

Data output

• Export lists to HTML, DOCX, PDF, RTF and TXT formats.
• Export drawings to DXF, DWG and PDF formats.
• Export the budget to FIEBDC-3, HTML, DOCX, PDF, RTF and TXT formats, as well as to CSV.
• Export of the technical project documents for the Common Telecommunications Infrastructure (ICT).
• Export data generated using CYPETEL to the BIMserver.center platform in IFC and glTF formats. This allows authorised project participants to view the data.
