CYPE Connect (Steel & Timber)

Overview CYPE Connect is a tool for the modelling, analysis and code checking of connections in steel and timber structures using the finite element method. The program includes the OpenSees© analysis engine, developed at the University of California, Berkeley, to carry out complete analyses. In addition to the designs and checks, CYPE Connect has a tool for generating sheets with the detailing drawings of the connections. Workflows supported by the program CYPE Connect offers different workflow options as it is an Open BIM tool and is connected to the BIMserver.center platform. Modelling, analysis and graphical information of individual connections are all done completely within the program itself Importing a steel structure previously analysed in CYPE 3D Importing a steel structure previously analysed in CYPECAD Importing structural steel models in IFC format via IFC Uploader Importing structures developed with other tools via StruBIM Uploader Working environment The CYPE Connect working environment follows the style of other CYPE modelling tools. The top toolbar contains the main features for creating project libraries, creating and managing the nodes to be analysed, and…
