GENOA is an engineering software suite that augments commercial Finite Element Analysis (FEA) packages by providing Progressive Failure Analysis (PFA) capability. It can investigate structural responses to material degradation from damage induced by static, cyclic (low and high cycle fatigue), impact, Power Spectrum Density (PSD) and thermal loading. GENOA's PFA also accounts for the effects of manufacturing flaws, residual stresses, moisture and temperature.

A wide range of material systems can be handled, including metals, ceramics, and advanced composites. The latter include Polymer Matrix Composites (PMC) and Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMC). GENOA is unique in that it can analyze not only traditional 2-D tape and fabric laminate layups, but also 3-D weaves and braids. Different weave and braid architecture can also be considered.

GENOA is a complementary solution to your analysis environment. It was designed to work with other mainstream software packages such as ANSYS, ABAQUS, and NASTRAN so that the user simply prepares a Finite Element Model in their preferred software and imports the final model into GENOA for further analysis.

GENOA allows a complete integration with the most popular FEA formats in the analysis market today. Whether you want to import from ABAQUS, ANSYS, NASTRAN or want to try an analysis with a different commercial solver (ABAQUS, ANSYS, NASTRAN, MARC, MHOST, LS-DYNA), GENOA gives you the freedom to be flexible with your analysis approach.

With an array of different modules to choose from, GENOA offers a complete solution for many diverse applications and needs.
