Export in CIS/2 format from CYPE 3D, CYPECAD and Integrated 3D structures of CYPECAD

Exported elements

External loads acting on the structure can be introduced in CYPECAD, CYPE 3D or the Integrated 3D structures, so to obtain its optimum design in accordance with the selected code. Additionally, using the Joints I, Joints II, Joints III and Joints IV modules, construction details of bolted and welded connections of rolled and welded I sections can be generated.

By means of the CIS/2 format, all this can be exported to Graitec Advance Steel and obtain a 3D model in the program with:

• The simple rolled, welded and cold formed steel sections with constant cross-sections whose references coincide with the Advance Steel libraries.
• If the licence possessed by the user contains the Export in CIS/2 format and Joints I modules of CYPE, the connections resolved by the Joints I. Welded. module will also be available in CIS/2 format.
• If the licence possessed by the user contains the Export in CIS/2 format and Joints II modules of CYPE, the connections resolved by the Joints II. Bolted. module will also be available in CIS/2 format.
• If the licence possessed by the user contains the Export in CIS/2 format and Joints III modules of CYPE, the connections resolved by the Joints III. Welded. module will also be available in CIS/2 format.
• If the license possessed by the user contains the Export in CIS/2 format and Joints IV modules of CYPE, the connections resolved by the Joints IV. Bolted. module will also be available in CIS/2 format.

This way, the project designed by CYPECAD, CYPE 3D or the Integrated 3D structures of CYPECAD will have all the facilities and possibilities offered by Graitec Advance Steel available:

Integrated working in AutoCAD, project drawings, workshop drawings (detailing), take-off, CNC file generation for workshop machinery…

Export options

Export in CIS/2 format is done using the option File > Export > Export in CIS/2 format in both CYPECAD and CYPE 3D. In CYPECAD, all the Integrated 3D structures are exported at once in CIS/2 format.

There are two options when exporting in CIS/2 format:

• Only geometry and properties of nodes and bars (Export in CIS/2 format module not required)
  Exports the geometry and steel sections mentioned in the Exported elements sections in CIS/2 format. The structure does not have to be analysed or designed before it is exported. It does not include the export of joints and so these do not have to be designed before exporting either.
  
  To export in CIS/2 format using this option, the user is not required to have the Joints I, Joints II, Joints III, Joints IV or Export in CIS/2 format modules.



• Complete detailing of the structure, including joints (Export in CIS/2 format and Joints I, Joints II, Joints III or Joints IV modules required)
  Export in CIS/2 format includes: the geometry of the job, t, or Joints III modules required)
  Export in CIS/2 format includes: the geometry of the job, the steel sections of the types listed in the Exported elements section, and the detailing corresponding to the steel elements designed by the Joints I, Joints II, Joints III and JointsIV modules (depending on the Joints module acquired with the user license). 
• The job and joints must be analysed before exporting in CIS/2 format.
  
  In order to use this option, the user license must contain the Export in CIS/2 format module as well as, at least, one of the Joints modules:
• Using the Joints I. Welded module, the welded connections designed by this module are exported.
• Using the Joints II. Bolted module, the bolted connections designed by this module are exported.
• Using the Joints III. Welded module, the welded connections designed by this module are exported.
• Using the Joints IV. Bolted. module, the bolted connections designed by this module are exported.
• Using the Joints V. Flat trusses with hollow structural sections.

Requirements for exporting in CIS/2 format

The following aspects should be taken into account for CYPECAD or CYPE 3D to export in CIS/2 format:

• CYPE user licenses must contain the following:
• CYPECAD (v. 2010.a or higher) to be able to export the structure from CYPECAD
• CYPE 3D (v. 2009.1.b or higher) to be able to export the structure from CYPE 3D
• CYPECAD and CYPE 3D to be able to export the Integrated 3D structures of CYPECAD (v. 2009.1.b or higher)
• The Joints I. Welded – Warehouses with rolled and welded steel I sections and Export in CIS/2 format modules if the exported structure is to include the detailing of the welded connections of this module (option Complete detailing of the structure, including joints)
• The Joints II. Bolted – Warehouses with rolled and welded steel I sections and Export in CIS/2 format modules if the exported structure is to include the detailing of the bolted connections of this module (option Complete detailing of the structure, including joints)
• The Joints III. Welded – Building frames with rolled and welded steel I sections and Export in CIS/2 format modules if the exported structure is to include the detailing of the welded connections of this module (option Complete detailing of the structure, including joints)
• The Joints IV. Bolted – Building frames with rolled and welded steel I sections and Export in CIS/2 format modules if the exported structure is to include the detailing of the welded connections of this module (option Complete detailing of the structure, including joints)
• The Joints V. Flat trusses with hollow structural sections and Export in CIS/2 format modules if the exported structure is to include the detailing of the welded connections of this module (option Complete detailing of the structure, including joints)
