Why CYPE

One solution for all disciplines, from design to construction.

CYPE — CYPECAD — results across the whole model

CYPECAD — analysis results, reinforcement and reports across one model
10 disciplines in one connected suite
All-in-one, for every discipline BIM essentials, structures, energy and acoustic simulation, plumbing, fire protection, electrical, HVAC, telecommunications, project management and interoperability — one suite covers the whole project.
Open BIM at the core Using a BIM working methodology and the BIMserver.center platform allows users to offer additional value and remain competitive by using software that is internationally recognised.
Built on international standards CYPE software is developed by integrating numerous national and international standards and regulations in all related disciplines.
Everything from one model From the BIM model to structural analysis, workshop drawings and energy analysis — every result and every document comes from the same connected project.

Model.

Start from architecture — one building model, in an Open BIM workflow every discipline can build on.

The architectural model first Model the building in CYPE Architecture or bring in IFC from ArchiCAD, Revit and other tools — one geometric source of truth for everything that follows.
Structures from the same model CYPECAD and CYPE 3D pick up the architectural model and turn it into analysed concrete, steel, aluminium or timber structures.
Installations in parallel Plumbing, electrical, HVAC, fire protection and telecommunications are designed on the same shared model, coordinated with every other discipline.
Connected through BIMserver.center Every CYPE application syncs through the BIMserver.center platform, so a change in one discipline propagates to all the others.

Analyse.

Every discipline calculated and verified against the codes that apply to your project.

Structural analysis to Eurocode Concrete, steel, composite, aluminium and timber structures analysed and dimensioned to Eurocodes with national annexes — seismic action included.
Energy & acoustic simulation The CYPETHERM applications calculate thermal loads, energy demand and acoustic behaviour — ready for certification.
MEP systems, sized automatically Water, electrical, HVAC and fire-protection systems dimensioned to regulations, with results that feed straight back into the model.
Code compliance built in National and international standards integrated across all disciplines — the right checks apply wherever the project is built.

Document.

Drawings, reports, schedules and quantities — generated from the model, ready to submit.

Reports and justifications Complete calculation reports with intermediate results for every discipline — reviewer-ready documentation of how each element was verified.
Drawings from the model Reinforcement drawings, MEP layouts, plans and sections generated from the model — rerun the analysis and the drawings follow.
Quantities and budgeting Bills of quantities and cost estimates through CYPE's project management tools, connected to the same BIM model as everything else.

Why CYPE

The suite that carries the whole project.

The most professional technical support

A complete team of experts in Architecture, Engineering and Construction answers queries on how to use the programs — exclusive, free of charge for CYPE users, and available worldwide.

Training that fits your level

Thematic seminars through webinars and face-to-face training — adapted to new users getting to know the program, and to expert users perfecting their skills.

Competitive in the export market

The BIM working methodology and the BIMserver.center platform let users offer additional value and remain competitive internationally with recognised software.

One vendor, one workflow

Architecture, structures, MEP, energy, fire and project management from a single suite — no stitching together tools from five vendors.

Codes and regulations built in

Numerous national and international standards integrated across all disciplines, so verification runs against the rules that actually apply.

Decades of engineering pedigree

Developed by CYPE Ingenieros since 1983 and refined on real projects across the world — software with an engineering department behind it.

CYPE is an all-in-one suite of software for architecture, engineering and construction, developed by CYPE Ingenieros. It covers structural analysis and design, MEP installations, energy and acoustic simulation, fire protection and project management — all connected through an Open BIM workflow on the BIMserver.center platform.

Breadth in one connected suite: where most vendors cover a single discipline, CYPE carries the whole project — architecture, structures, installations and simulation — with every application reading and writing the same shared BIM model. Add integrated national and international codes, and the result is a workflow with far less re-entry, re-modeling and coordination friction.

CYPE is developed by integrating numerous national and international standards across all disciplines — including the Eurocodes with national annexes for structural design and seismic action, plus the applicable regulations for electrical, plumbing, HVAC and fire-protection systems in each market.

CYPE is modular — you license exactly the programs and disciplines your work needs, from a single structural application to the full multi-discipline suite. Because of that, there's no single number that covers every user.

Please contact us and we'll put together an offer tailored to your needs.

Yes, we're glad to. We can showcase the software and walk through exactly how it can benefit your business. If you're interested, just let us know and we'll arrange a live remote session with your team.
