is a tool for design of regular steel structures made up of beams and plates. It is based upon the use of concepts to represent the physical structure and loads that it supports.

inGeniousEngineering

Modelling, analysis, results processing and code checking of the beams are performed from the same graphical user environment.

Conceptual modelling employed in GeniE.Lite makes the engineer more productive and at the same time increases quality when modelling regular structures consisting of beams and/or plates. The productivity and quality gains are achieved through using a range of features which include intelligent modelling of structure and load; integrated analysis and results processing; code checking of beams, and data exchange with standard office reporting products.

GeniE.Lite is for the engineer who wants to design small and regular structures quickly and efficiently, with a high degree of quality. GeniE.Lite will produce the results used in a design process like e.g. bending moment diagrams, plate stresses, and code check results of beams according to AISC, API, Norsok or Eurocode Standards.

GeniE.Lite is bundled together with the Sesam’s analysis program Sestra and beam code checking program Framework, with automatic transfer of data between the different modules.

GeniE.Lite is ideal for use in design since the program allows for frequent changes in the structural layout and loading arrangement. The analysis model is automatically updated such that results may easily be produced for each change in the design.

Benefits

• Intuitive and integrated 3D user interface covering modelling, analysis, results presentation and start the code checking program Framework.
• Concept modelling techniques to focus real structures in stead of analytical models.
• Flexible in naming, the user may use same names as the real structure.
• Importing data from other finite element systems and build them to form one concept model.
• Customise the built-in engineering knowledge. Examples of such are length of a can or maximum allowable angle in a finite element mesh.
• Easy to select from browser or graphics mode and make re-usable sets for later usage in the design process.
• Automatic creation of an analytical model (a finite element model) based on the rules defined by the designer or using the system default settings. A new model is created each time the structure model or equipment configuration has been changed.
• All operations are logged using a command language (Jscript) – these files may be used and edited by others to create new models.
• Easy to verify all steps in the design process either from producing 2D/3D graphical files or from exporting tabulated reports viewed in spreadsheets or a windows explorer.
• The program comes with a help system including user manual, tutorials and how-to-do-videos.
