Description

This 10-hour implementation program introduces the CYPE software ecosystem integrated with the BIMserver.center platform. It is designed for professionals and organizations beginning their adoption of CYPE tools or aiming to establish a structured Open BIM workflow across multiple disciplines. Through practical sessions and guided exercises, participants will implement the core processes supported by CYPE applications—architectural baseline definition (including IFC-based integration), structural design, building services (MEP), cost estimation, and BIM coordination—acquiring the essential knowledge required to deliver interoperable BIM projects efficiently, collaboratively, and consistently.

General objectives

Understand the structure of the CYPE ecosystem and its integrated project workflow.
Set up and manage a collaborative project environment using BIMserver.center.
Develop and integrate architectural, structural, and building systems models within a coordinated workflow.
Deliver a structured and interoperable digital project, including quantities and coordination outputs.

Target group

Architecture, engineering and construction professionals.
Students in their final years of technical studies who are interested in learning about this tool that is so widespread in firms and technical offices.
Companies, organisations and groups wishing to attend these courses from their offices.

Lesson plan

Session 1 (2h) — Platform Implementation & BIM Project Deployment

Objective: Establish the collaboration environment, project structure, and external model integration

Overview of the CYPE ecosystem and implementation approach
BIMserver.center as the Common Data Environment (CDE)
Creating and organizing a BIM project
Team roles, permissions, and discipline setup
Uploading IFC files and managing external reference models
Connecting workflows from Revit through IFC export and BIMserver.center integration
Open BIM interoperability and publishing workflow

Deliverable: BIM project environment ready for multidisciplinary use, including IFC integration

Session 2 (2h) — Architectural Baseline Implementation

Objective: Define the architectural reference model for all disciplines

Architectural modeling workflow in CYPE Architecture
Typologies, libraries, spaces, and documentation outputs
Publishing the architectural baseline for coordination

Deliverable: Architectural model available as the project reference

Session 3 (2h) — Structural Workflow Implementation

Objective: Deploy structural design integrated with BIM

Importing the architectural baseline into CYPECAD
Code selection, materials, and structural system definition
Load setup and analysis workflow
Reinforcement generation and main deliverables
Publishing the structural model to the federated project
Expansion possibilities of the workflow through additional tools for structural steel design.

Deliverable: Structural model calculated and integrated

Session 4 (2h) — MEP Implementation Workflow (Core Disciplines)

Objective: Introduce essential building services integration

Fire protection setup and sprinkler network workflow (CYPEFIRE)
HVAC system definition and reporting (CYPEHVAC)
Plumbing supply and drainage overview (CYPEPLUMBING)
Electrical devices, circuits, and calculation workflow (CYPELEC)

Deliverable: MEP disciplines connected within the BIM model

Session 5 (2h) — Coordination, Quantities, Cost, and BIM Delivery

Objective: Finalize implementation with outputs and coordination processes

Quantity takeoff and cost estimation workflow (Open BIM Quantities)
Model federation, clash detection, and issue management (Open BIM Model Checker)
Reporting and best practices for project delivery

Deliverable: Coordinated BIM model with quantities, cost outputs, and issue workflow
