Requirements

    • Basic computer skills.
    • Basic knowledge of architecture, engineering or construction.
    • Laptop with mouse, wifi connection and USB port.
    • Installing CYPECAD and CYPE 3D.

To optimise your training time, please bring your personal laptop with the programs already installed. To do so:

  1. Your system must meet the minimum requirements for running CYPE programs: Minimum requirements.
  2. Register on the free BIMserver.center platform and download and install the latest version of the following programs:
    • CYPECAD.
    • CYPE 3D.
    • Alternatively, download and install the complete program package from the CYPE general menu, which includes CYPECAD and CYPE 3D. If you plan to use a "Temporary license version", choose this option in the installation process and enter the key provided.
  3. Installation information:
