DNV GeniE -08

GeniE is conceptual modelling of offshore and maritime structures. It's a powerful FEM modelling and analysis tool for innovation, flexibility and efficiency in offshore structural engineering. GeniE is a tool for concept (high level geometry) modelling of beams, flat plates and stiffened shells. Load modelling includes equipment (with automatic load transfer), explicit loads, wind loads and generation of compartments in floating structures. The concept model, or parts of it, can be meshed using a variety of beam, plate and shell finite element types. The mesh may be refined or modified using a comprehensive set of mesh editing features, whereupon the mesh quality may be verified. Through running the modules Wajac and Sestra from the GeniE user interface, environmental loads (wave, current, buoyance and wind) may be calculated and a finite element stress analysis performed, including for
