CYPE HVAC Solution

IFC Builder

Creation and maintenance of building IFC models. This application is integrated in the Open BIM workflow via the IFC standard.

• Import a CAD/BIM model in IFC format generated by CAD/BIM programs such as Allplan, Archicad, and Revit.
• Create the model of the building from scratch with or without the use of templates or drawings in DXF, DWG, JPEG or BMP format. Add the construction and structural elements of the building, and introduce floors in a 2D workspace, using 3D elements.
• Define the different spaces making up the building, then group them according to their properties.

Export the model to several generic or specific versions of the IFC format of the main CAD/BIM programs (Allplan, Archicad, and Revit) to integrate it in the Open BIM workflow.

IFC Uploader

With this application IFC files can be imported into BIMserver.center platform and be integrated into the CYPE Open BIM workflow.
The tool has an integrated viewer to view the set of models that are linked to each project.

One of the main advantages of connecting to the Open BIM workflow with IFC format files, is that users who have created projects using programs that currently do not have "augmented reality" such as REVIT or ARCHICAD, can now access the augmented reality of their projects for free thanks to the BIMserver.center platform and the "apps" that have been created by CYPE.

Open BIM Analytical Model

This application has been developed to generate analytical geometric models of buildings in order to carry out their energy and acoustic analysis.

You can enter all the elements that make up the analytical model, such as spaces, surfaces, edges, joints etc. You can also indicate the existing relationships between these entities (which spaces they belong to, adjacencies between surfaces, edges that form a joint etc).

If there is a BIM project hosted on the BIMserver.center platform that has an architectural model defined through the IFC standard, you can make use of the automatic generation process, while keeping control over the final result.

The analytical model can be exported to the project in BIMserver.center and be interpreted by the following CYPE Open BIM tools, dedicated to the thermal and acoustic analysis of buildings:

• Acoustic analysis: AcoubatBIM by CYPE, CYPESOUND CTE, CYPESOUND RRAE

Thermal analysis: CYPETHERM HE Plus, CYPETHERM EPlus, CYPETHERM RT 2012, CYPETHERM RT 2012 CNOA, CYPETHERM RTExistant, CYPETHERM COMETH, CYPETHERM REH, CYPETHERM RECS Plus, CYPETHERM C.E.

Open BIM Carpentry

Open BIM Carpentry is a program that has been created to help users to design and create the documentation of the carpentry of a building. Open BIM Carpentry is integrated in the Open BIM workflow using the IFC standard.

The program allows users to define the types of windows and doors by specifying the type of sheet/pane, the opening system, the size and layout of the opening and blind box.

Open BIM carpentry generates a report that contains the necessary information on the breakdown of the windows and doors, and is exported to the BIM model as an attached document in PDF format, which can be used to complete the execution project.

Open BIM Carpentry also exports the 3D geometry of the designed elements to the BIM model located on the BIMserver.centerweb platform, for sharing in 3D View.

Open BIM Suspended ceilings can automatically generate the layout of the suspended ceilings, which provides a valuable aid in their subsequent installation in the different rooms. Open BIM Suspended ceilings is immersed in the Open BIM workflow, so it is able to exchange information with other programs. Thanks to this, it can know, for example, the position of lights, sprinklers or the ventilation system, which helps to arrange them correctly in conjunction with the suspended ceiling.

Open BIM Vertical Connections
