The following error appears in IFC Builder on the closing of elevation changes entered between two floor slabs at different levels: The walls of the floor slabs with elevation changes must be situated on the elevation change axis. A closing of elevation change cannot be entered in a location that is not previously interpreted by […]
The following warning may appear when importing BIM models into CYPE thermal and acoustic study programs, such as CYPETHERM EPlus: The selected file does not include the description of the space limits, hence it cannot be imported. To fix the error, the Open BIM Analytical Model file shall be selected as the initiator instead of
In CYPELEC PV Systems, users may see the following error after analysing the installation: The number of panels that are connected in series in each branch of the MPPT follower must be the same. To correct the error, the same number of PV panels must be entered in each of the branches that make up
The conditions for the program to identify a braced frame are as follows: 1. The frame must consist of four bars. It is also possible to define only three bars if the end of two of them is stiffened by an “External fixity”, as in the case of a frame consisting of two vertical bars

The following error “The beam cannot form part of a braced frame” may appear over elements defined as “Beam” in CYPE 3D placed on the perimeter of a braced frame: To avoid this error, the definition of these elements should be modified from “Bar”, “Describe” and selecting the “Generic” structural element type at the top

The following error “The braced frame has not been completely introduced” may appear over elements defined as “Tie” in StruBIM CYPE 3D placed on an incomplete bar structure that the program cannot recognise as a braced frame: To avoid this error, the geometry of the bars to which the tie is linked must be checked

The following warning “The selected reference does not exist. ()” may appear when selecting a certain group of sections in the StruBIM CYPE 3D “Bar”, “Describe” option: The warning is simply indicating that there is no section series loaded for the selected group. To fix this, simply accept the warning and then define a “Section
