1. for structural analysis The GeniE package encompasses the following Sesam programs GeniE Wajac Sestra Splice Installjac Framework Platework Submod Usfos Cutres Stofat Presel and Xtract The main updates for GeniE are described in the following There is more information for each program in their respective release notes Please consult the Sesam download site for details on each program https projects dnv com sesam status status html or from the Customer Portal 2 1 GeniE v5 3 The main focus of this release has been to ease the work to do beam deflection reporting and to model complex surfaces Another main reason for the release has also been to allow for import of old frame models and results to do result presentation and code checking in GeniE Finally we have made the code checking more flexible and not strictly following the most conservative interpretations as given by the various statutory regulations Beam deflection reporting is a requirement by e g the AISC code of practice The new MSIS functionality related to beam deflection reporting gt Beam deflection check Bm34 significantly reduces the engineers amount of La pr w aS Ry OSK HD KC WD KEE work since we use cubic interpolation together u with the effect of local loads and compare the deflection with AISC pre defined thresholds typically a 180 240 or 360 classified member Furthermore it is possible to do scanning Operations meaning that Geni

4. resultCase 128 Deflistan e from end m The code checking in GeniE has been available for quite some time and we have learnt from user experiences that they want first of all to have more flexibility as compared to the most conservative interpretations of the standards but also to do screening studies by running a larger number of load cases This version of GeniE includes more flexibility whereby the user can decide options for using Maximum or local buckling moments relevant for compression buckling of members Exclude torsion effects when computing vonMises stresses AISC Include plastic moment of inertia in formulae 6 2 Eurocode Compute code check forces when needed and store the worst code check results only This option will allow code checking for a much larger number of load cases In addition to the major enhancements as described above there are many minor but useful improvements that will help engineers do their jobs faster They are all listed in the release notes part of the installation and some of the examples are Import of soil data import a so called Gensod file This will reduce the amount of manual input and make the model less prone to user input errors Design wave load condition for minimum base shear or overturning moment in addition to maximum base shear In other words it is now possible to determine the range between maximum and minimum values A wave load analysis can now be run
