GENOA Software Specifications and Technical Overview

View Software Specification Datasheet (PDF)

GENOA is an integrated material structure, life prediction, and virtual testing software package that utilizes JAVA for an enriched Graphical User Interface (GUI) and stand-alone Fortran/C++ compiled executables for the analysis. 

Requirements

·         Windows 2000/XP/Vista (32-bit or 64-bit) or Linux (32-bit and AMD64) platform

·         JAVA 1.5 minimum requirement

·         JAVA3D 1.3.1 minimum requirement

·         1 GB RAM minimum recommended for analysis runs

Supported Input Formats

GENOA is strictly an analysis program that relies on importing model and material property data from other third-party format files or from its own default format (MHOST).   The following input formats may be imported into GENOA for material property and finite element model (FEM) definitions.

·         NASTRAN

·         ABAQUS

·         ANSYS

·         MHOST (Default)

Supported Solvers

For the Progressive Failure Analysis (PFA) module, the following solvers are supported and can be utilized by user request during the analysis.                                                                                           

·         NASTRAN

·         MARC

·         ABAQUS

·         ANSYS

·         LS-DYNA

·         MHOST (Default)

Results

GENOA provides different methods for displaying the analysis results of each module by providing an enriched graphical environment with XY graphs, 3D graphics, data tables, and exporting to text file capabilities for graph and analysis data.
