DNV Software arranged an open GeniE course at the DNV Academy in Shanghai in June. GeniE 3.3-3.6, released in May, covers design and analysis of offshore and maritime structures made up of beams and plates. GeniE is based on the use of concepts to represent the physical structure and equipment it supports. Modelling, analysis, and results processing are performed from the same graphical user interface.

12 participants from Marine Design & Research Institute of China, Shanghai Merchant. Ship Design and Research Institute, China Ship Design & Research Centre Ltd. Qingdao Jingneng Rig Manufacturing Co. Ltd, Ocea University of China, and Jiangsu University of Science and Technology.

The new functionality of curved modelling for semisubmersible structures was demonstrated by Ole Jan Nekstad, Sesam Product Manager. This created great interest among the audience. This shows the significant potential of GeniE to be the first-choice common design tool for the offshore and maritime industries.

DNV Maritime has decided to adopt GeniE as the modelling and finite element analysis tool in the new release of Nauticus Hull.
