GeniE

A small introduction to GeniE. New users should do this tutorial first. Applications used in this tutorial: Basic GeniE with no special extension, plus Sestra.

Start GeniE, from a new Sesam Manager job or from the Windows Start menu, in the DNV folder.

The purpose of the GeniE Snack Pack is to give you access to a number of utilities and special functions not yet available from the graphical user interface of GeniE.

For the advanced user it is also possible to learn from these script files, for example by making your own versions of them or even by adapting them for new type of operations.

This example demonstrates how to use the support rigid link functionality of GeniE to couple a beam element with a shell/plate model. This is typically used when a beam is partly modelled as a beam element and partly using plate/shell elements.

This example demonstrates, by four different models, alternative use of the Support Rigid Link:

• "Include all nodes in region, released rotations",
• "Include all nodes in region, dependent rotations" and
• "Include only nodes on support points and curves in region". The last option is shown with two different sets of support curves to demonstrate the level of control of dependent nodes.

Import the ZIP file into Sesam Manager, alternatively find the GeniE gnx file in the ZIP file. Follow the instructions in the PDF that also briefly explains the difference in results.

Naming function suitable for scripting.

This example demonstrate GeniE scripting function to make corrugated plates, by defining dimensions of corrugated plates as input parameters. Some JavaScript statements, like “for”, “if”, “do… while…”, are found in this example. Concept plates and meshing will be archived with this example script.
