What is CYPE?

CYPE develops and distributes technical software for Architecture, Engineering and Construction professionals.

CYPE’s journey began in 1983 with an intense activity in the field of engineering and structural analysis, which motivated the computer development of applications to cover its own needs and those of its clients. The success of these programs led the company to concentrate its activity in the development, commercialisation and distribution of technical software.

As a result of this work, CYPE occupies a leading position within the sector, offering a variety of programs that stand out due to the wide range of casuistry that is dealt with, the reliability of the results and the ease with which they can be managed.

120.000 users throughout Europe, Latin America, Africa, Oceania and Asia have already acquired over 520.000 programs. Amongst our clients are town councils and ministries, as well as technical control organisations, universities and professional offices.

Specialized technical service

The team of qualified experts that make up the Technical support depatment guarantees the software is implemented and adequately performs within our clients’ professional environment, resolving their queries in an agile and efficient manner.

Moreover, CYPE also offers exclusive customer and post-sales services to our clients to respond to orders, claims, deliveries and courses.

Courses and training

We offer quality and up-to-date training and courses of CYPE programs in the national and international scene so users can make the best use of oure products.

To summarise, CYPE is…

A leading firm, composed of a team of over 140 professionals, which believes specialisation and integration are the best formulae for its development within the professional field, by providing agile and effective services to its clients.

Below we will briefly introduce you to the basic features of CYPE software.

CYPE Structures

CYPE Structures consists of two basic and many additional programs for retaining walls, cantilever walls, continuous beams, box culverts, etc., which we will introduce to you in the following texts. The two basic programs are CYPECAD which allows analysis and design of reinforced concrete and steel structures exposed to horizontal and vertical loads and CYPE 3D which allows analysis and design of 3D steel, aluminium and wooden bars and foundations exposed to horizontal and vertical loads.

CYPE Structures Workflow

‘Workflow’ in CYPE Structures.

CYPECAD

Analysis and design of reinforced concrete and steel structures, exposed to horizontal and vertical loads. For buildings and civil works.

Foundations consisting of pad footings, combined footings, piles with their corresponding pile caps, mat foundations and foundation beams.
Vertical supports composed of reinforced concrete columns, steel columns, reinforced concrete walls and shear walls, and masonry walls.
Beams: reinforced concrete, steel and composite.
Floor slabs: slabs (joist floor, waffle, flat, hollow core, composite) and post-tensioned slabs (concrete, waffle, joist floor) for buildings.
Analysis of the results with graphics and detailed U.L.S. report.
Design and edition of all the reinforced concrete and steel structural elements. Seismic analysis with capacity design criteria and interaction of the structure with the construction elements.
Joints: design of welded and bolted connections of rolled and welded steel I sections and hollow sections.
Drawings containing the geometry and reinforcement of the structural elements.
Reports: complete with all the data, analysis results, reinforcements, and takeoff of the materials and formwork.
Design codes national and international.
Integration with CYPE 3D.
Import/export using IFC 2X3, IFC4 format files (CAD/BIM models).

Mix CYPECAD

CYPE 3D

Analysis and design of three dimensional steel, aluminium and timber bars (including foundation), exposed to horizontal and vertical loads.

The program also carries out the analysis of bars composed of any material.

Foundations consisting of pad footings, combined footings, piles with theirs corresponding pile caps and baseplates.
Shells: falt two-dimensional polygonal elements whose properties can be defined.
Analysis of the results with graphics and detailed U.L.S. reports for steel, aluminium and timber bars.
Design and edition of steel, aluminium and timber bars, and the foundations.
Joints: design of welded and bolted connections of rolled and welded steel I sections and hollow sections.
Drawings: precise and with detailing of the joints.
Reports: complete with all the data, analysis results, and steel, aluminium, timber and foundation takeoff.
Design Codes national and international.
Import/export using IFC 2X3, IFC4 format files (CAD/BIM models).
