CYPECAD M32 offers an advanced BIM solution for the design of reinforced concrete and steel structures. Ideal for professionals looking for an intuitive and easy-to-use tool.    This product includes modules for the design of reinforced concrete structures of all sizes, as well as the design of steel columns and beams. Its features cover the design of different concrete structural elements such as columns, beams, floor slabs (flat slabs, post-tensioned slabs, staircases and ramps), joist floor slabs (precast, generic and in-situ joists), hollow core slabs and waffle floor slabs. It includes options for the design of different types of foundations, such as footings, pile caps, piles, slabs and foundation beams. Additional modules are available for the design of concrete block walls, reinforced concrete walls, plane stress walls and masonry walls. The program carries out the failure limit state checks against punching shear in waffle slabs, flat slabs and foundation slabs. It also carries out fire resistance checks on steel elements and the design of sections or protective cladding according to the corresponding material. It has a wizard to automatically generate the structure using two methods: importing files in IFC format or interpreting information from DXF or DWG files. It also ensures the safety and suitability of designs by carrying out analyses following the applicable codes. With this solution, every stage of the design and structural analysis process is simplified, providing accurate and reliable results.

Design and detailing steel structures M03 offers a BIM solution for the design and detailing of steel structures composed of nodes, bars and shells. It includes CYPE 3D, with options for the analysis of steel sections and other materials, such as concrete or the definition of generic materials. The use of ties in stiffened frames in a diagonal shape, in addition to bars with conventional behaviour, is also possible. It guarantees the safety and suitability of designs by carrying out analyses following the codes applicable in different countries. It includes the StruBIM Steel tool that enables the modelling or import of a BIM model for the detailing of steel structures, allowing detailed graphical documentation and export in fabrication formats (DSTV, STEP and IFC EM.11). This combination provides advanced tools to increase productivity and efficiency in the fabrication of steel structures.

CYPECAD M54 + CYPE 3D M28 is a solution that combines the most powerful CYPE programs for structural design and analysis. Its features cover the design of different reinforced concrete structural elements, such as columns, beams (including deep beams and coupling beams), slabs (flat slabs, post-tensioned slabs, composite slabs, slabs for staircases and ramps), joist floor slabs (precast, generic and in-situ, steel and timber), hollow core slabs and waffle slabs. It includes options for the design of different types of foundations, such as footings, pile caps, piles, slabs and foundation beams. It includes options for the design of steel and timber columns and beams. It includes additional modules for designing concrete block walls, reinforced concrete walls, plane stress walls and masonry walls. It includes tools for the design and analysis of connections between steel sections, as well as the design and checking of baseplates. Buildings subjected to seismic loads can be analysed, and even the requirements for the seismic design of reinforced concrete nodes can be checked. Settling in the foundation and its interaction with the rest of the structure, in terms of forces and deformations, can be considered. The program checks the Ultimate limit state against punching shear in waffle slabs, flat slabs and foundation slabs. It also checks the fire resistance of steel elements and the design of sections or protective cladding according to the corresponding material.  It has features for the design of welded and bolted connections of various types, including the connection between double T and circular hollow sections. The program allows users to carry out the non-linear analysis of structures consisting of bars and nodes using the OpenSees© analysis engine. It offers a tool for BIM modelling and the detailing of reinforcement in reinforced concrete structural elements. It has a wizard to automatically generate the structure using two methods: importing files in IFC format or interpreting information from DXF or DWG files. It also guarantees the safety and suitability of the designs by carrying out the designs following the applicable regulations. Among its outstanding tools is the Portal frame generator program, which makes it easier to generate the geometry of rigid frames and single and multiple trusses, as well as the automatic generation of wind and snow loads. By combining the CYPECAD and CYPE 3D programs in the same ecosystem, it is possible to integrate structures consisting of bars and nodes developed in CYPE 3D into portal frame structures developed in CYPECAD by using the “Integrated 3D structures” feature. With this solution, each stage of the design and structural analysis process is simplified, providing accurate and reliable results.
