GENESIS Structural Optimization Software

GENESIS is a fully integrated finite element analysis and optimization program. Static, normal modes, dynamic response and heat transfer analysis are available using NASTRAN compatible data. Optimization is performed using the most modern methods available. Both sizing (member dimensions) and shape (grid locations) optimization are available. Almost all responses calculated in the analysis are available for optimization. GENESIS was written from the beginning by optimization experts to be a design optimization program, not just a finite element analysis program with optimization added later.
