Manual – Volume 4 - Reference documents are updated with description of new
input options related to code checks.
Note that the dialogs shown in the User Manual -Volume 4 - main document is not
up to date. Thus, the reference documents for each code checks should be
consulted for details on input parameters.
In the list of supported code checks in the User Manual -Volume 4 - the
following should been be added:
New features
· Eurocode updates
· If meshing failed for models with un-meshable cyclic geometry, no mesh at all was shown. Now, the meshing will continue, with a warning given to message window. (IM6428).
· Warning from SESTRA related to loads and eccentricities should not be treated as an error. (IM6424)
· Mesh is not automatically loaded when running only a mesh activity (IM6425)
· Error in FEM import of line and point loads on beams with large eccentricities (IM6417)
· XML import/export : Eliminated structure in Wajac not remembered (IM6417)

Same change is also applied to ISO and API WSD 2005.
o NORSOK N-004 Non-conservative
reduction factor in joint code check for X & TY joints with can
(IM6422)
If the nominal thickness of the chord is different on each side of the can

6.4.3.5.
Same change is also applied to ISO and API WSD 2005.
o Eurocode check 6.3.2.3 section. The condition for “chi<(1/lambda_bar^2)” was not completely fulfilled (IM6403)
· SACS import
o Error in joint coordinates when using both 'm' and 'cm' colums in input file – and numbers in the ‘m’ colums are without decimal point.
o Scaling basic load cases if a load factor is given on the LOADCN card,
o Line loads on “whole” beam is only applied to the flexible part of the beams, consisten with SACS definition.
o Line and point loads on beams are accurately applied on beams with large eccentricities.
o Line and point loads are accurately applied on segmented beams.
o Buoyancy – density of marine growth as default assumed to be equal to the density of water, i.e. a submerged member will have no contribution to buoyancy force due to marine growth.

Accumulated list of changes after V5.3-10
(including significant changes from
development versions from D5.3-11 to D5.4-02 and D6.1-00).
Official Release (32 bit & 64 bit)
Documentation
· User Manual updated : Vol 1, Vol 3 and Vol 4 updated with description of new features.
· Jscript help updated with more examples and searchable index.
· Reference documentation updated for “ISO Critical Joints”.
· Examples updated with revised dialogs.
New Features
· SACS Import :
· Load combinations read into GeniE (via JS).
· Corrected problem with double beam loads on jacket legs with inner beams (IM6141).
· Extended section library, improved handling of channel and T sections.
· Varying line loads handled also for beams with more than 3 segments.
· For 64 bit version increased max number of nodes and elements to 25000, while limit is 10500 for 32 bit version of GeniE.
· Enhanced warning message
- when SECT name starts with an integer
- when SECT/LOAD name contains special characters
- load type is not supported
· SACS Import and FEM import : Improvement on the import of beam point and line loads, so that the connection to originating beams are maintained.
· Giving
user option to join load and result cases when importing a SIN file (for
compatibility with earlier releases.
When running interactively the user will be prompted:
Do you know that the loadcases in
Genie match the resultcases in the SIN file ?
That is that FEM loadcase number 1 in GeniE is corresponding to SIN resultcase
number 1, and so on.
If replying Yes, the SIN results case numbers will be matched to the loadcase
with same FEM numbers, when these exists.
If replying No, all result cases will appear as separate entities, e.g.
Analysis1.resultCase(N)
When running in batch, the following JS command must be added:
SinImporter
= ImportResultsSin();
SinImporter.matchLoadAndResultCases(true);
SinImporter.DoImport(“R1.SIN”);
· Frame code checks ISO:
· ISO Joint
Check “critical” joints, the option to compute “Ub from run” is now available.
(IM6128).
It is required that the code check run contains both
members and joints for the new feature to work, and the relevant joints must be
tagged as critical.
This is most easily done when setting the
default values when creating the capacity run.
· Update for “critical joints” with user input of the lower threshold for Ub.
· Added an alternative formula for X-joints in tension
· Frame code checks : Results stored on HDF5 files, reducing chance of running out of virtual memory.
· Reporting : Added option for producing output to CSV format text
files (similar to Framework). From GUI in the File | Save Report... select CSV
file format.
Note that in this report, numbers should be selected to be presented in
Scientific format with 4 significant digits.
Further, note that this CSV format is not suited for reporting on models when
names of concepts, properties, load cases, etc. have more than 12 characters.
· Update of mesh with support points and point masses without change of external element numbers.
· Performance improvements for display of plates and beams, both structure view and mesh view.
· Performance improvements for display of a subset of the model, both structure view and mesh view.
Bugfixes
· SACS import: On SACS import, output units are fixed to Genie database units.
· Graphics: Performance improvements when displaying capacity models
· Graphics : Corrected problem where labeling of Node or Element numbers unloaded SIN result file.
· Memory consumption in DNV Rule Service reduced, making it possible to run much more than 100.000 panels times loadcases in one run,
· The DNV Rule service now also should run on Win 7 (32 and 64 bit) and XP (32 bit and 64 bit) platforms.
· Graphics performance improved
· Poor performance of meshing (generating applied loads) for loadcases with many point loads.
· NORSOK member check : uf6_33 did not contribute to accumulated ufTot (IM6200).
· No reaction force reported in Report if point mass is at the same node (IM6198).
· Fixed crash when importing SIN result file (IM6188).
· Genie dialogs - minor fixes :
o Import Section Library incomplete GUI (IM6192)
o Sum of loads sometimes not fully visible in the property loadcase (IM5558)
· Display of General Section fixed - normalised wrt. area of general beam - to avoid "infinite" extent of graphical model in outline view.
· Error in created Gensod.inp when linear varying skin friction and Z=0 at a different position than seabed. (IM6161). Genie will now validate that the Z levels specified encloses the soil layer.
· Guide points not visible with hardware acceleration off (graphics card) (IM6122)
· Fails to modify the value in a grid cell from 0 to a different value in Regular Wave Set dialog (IM6169)
· Redesign of model with ‘mm’ database unit not possible due to failure in syncronisation between concept model and capacity model. (IM6160)
· Point mass as matrix writes mass contribution 2 times to FEM file (IM6129)
· Load
case property “Design condition” not exported to clean js (IM5868)
- corrected so that it also works for loadcases in the
"Global" loadcase folder.
· Empty sets
on FEM mesh import to analysis
- a crash fixed when set did not contain any nodes or elements.
· Adding
LinearAnalysis makes it impossible to import resultcases from a SIN file
(IM6116)
– GeniE will now give an error message to user if the analysis
imported into contains a result generating activity.
· Create Pile now works with the snap plane as before.
· Soil data XML export/import bug for linear varying skin friction.
· Scripting error for flat region in workspace with length unit other than meter.
· Geometric Modelling: Flat-Region. The tolerance for the length of edges to be neglected became 0.1mm when database unit was mm. (IM 6167).

New Features
.
General
· Application Version Manager is now automatically started from Genie (to update references to Sesam programs without the use of SESAM.INI)
· GeniE license check: When license check failed , there is an option to open MLG file with details of why license check failed. The message file named yyyymmdd_hhmmss_pid_GENIE.MLG is now written to %TEMP% folder (resolve environment variable TEMP).
· FlexLM 11.5 is supported.
·
Provided a feature to explore the files in a GeniE
workspace, starting Explorer in the current workspace directory (IM5845).
New functions, Workspace.Dir and Workspace.Name are now
available from JS.
Example of use: to create name of a file in current workspace directory, with
same name as workspace :
afile =
Workspace.Dir+"\\"+Workspace.Name+".png";
Graphics.SaveImage(afile);
Modelling
· Added feature in Locate FEM dialog extended with option to detect adjacent or overlapping nodes (within a given tolerance) (IM5963)
· Flat region tool – see user manual
· Move/copy - the dialog is extended – more ways of specifying a translation vector.
· Added a feature to create an offset curve/surface from an existing curve/surface.
Wave load modelling
· Support for new options for minimum base shear and minimum overturning moment (in Wajac V6.2-01) (IM5955)
· Made it possible to give data in Edit Wave Load Run dialog for Buoyancy Only resulting in LOAD=2 on SEAOPT in Wajac (IM2790).
Soil/Pile modelling
· Gensod Import:
- JS command to perform the import is implemented.
- Matching between soil-data and layers improved.
· Soil curves - Removed limitation on missing ability for manual specification of T-Z/Q-Z tensile (negative) values
Loads
· Slicer – added JS command for CSV file output for one loadcases, including loadcase name, target values, end corrections and values at slicer positions.
· Slicer – added option to omit writing end correction moments to FEM file (only to be used for IACS HSR rule development and calibration).
Meshing
· Import of
FEM Model - retain mesh with node and element numbers.
Note that when using this feature, only property and load updates is allowed.
The user must not add or delete members, change the topology or mesh
properties.
· Meshing rules,
defaults changed to be enabled for new workspaces.
When reading old JS files with
GenieRules.Compatibility.version="D5.3-07" or lower, the same
features will be disabled.
- Eccentric hinges
- Long loadcase names
- Long set names
- Long property names
Results
· Added option for starting Xtract with reading beam sectional data option switched on or off (IM5445)
· Starting Xtract from GeniE : Opens T*.FEM file instead when no R*.SIN file exists (IM5964)
· 2D graph tool - Extended with options to specify refinement on deflection shape presentation.
· FEM Beam Reporting Displacement and Displacement Envelope - Extended with options to specify refinement on deflection shape presentation.
· 3D graphics settings enhanced with options to specify the beam deflection shape settings (linear,cubic). Note that viewing cubic deflection is better done in the “Mesh” view, since in the “Results with mesh” - one will always see straight lines between the nodes in addition to the cubic shape. In the “Results all” view, the cubic setting will have no effect.
· Implemented handling of real result combinations based on complex results, created by PREPOST - Feature may only be used when using loads/displacements/forces/stresses in connection with Import FEM and Import External Results SIN file.
· Result-case description query, shows all result case properties. Loadcase type, Wave data, Response frequency, etc. This is activated by selecting additional field “Resultcase Description” in the current analysis folder in the browser.
Code check – frame
· Purge
defaults to TRUE in dialog for creating all type of Frame code check runs.
By only storing the result values for only the worst position in the GeniE
database, we get reduced memory usage.
· Loads on
the fly defaults to TRUE in dialog for creating all type of Frame code check
runs.
By not storing the element load values in the GeniE database, but
recompute them every time they are needed, we get reduced memory usage.
· ISO code check, added option to use Local or Max bending moment.
· Norsok code check, added option to use Local or Max bending moment.
· Hydrostatic pressure due to wave also taken into account in code checks in connection with SIN imported results. Note that an infinite wave length is assumed when computing the hydrostatic pressure, giving a slight overestimation of pressure values.
· Made it possible to document graphically code checking parameters Labelling of member capacity model buckling factors by added labelling of "Buckling Factors" (Ky and Kz) and "Buckling Lenght" (Ly and Lz) on member capacity models. (IM3981)
· Added feature to enable/disable use of Eurocode 1993-1-1 formula 6.2 on a capacity member.
· Possibility for user to switch off torsion from shear usage factor on the scope of AISC code check (IM5845).
Code check - plate
XML export / import
· Added support for export/import of “Dummy Hydro Pressure” loadcases.
Mesh FEM Import
· Added options for importing a FEM mesh into an analysis. This import has some restrictions compared to the old FEM import, e.g. only first order elements are supported. With this option used, GeniE will retain connectivity to the imported mesh, and will attempt to keep the existing external Element and Node numbers.
Note that a regeneration of mesh will make the existing external numbering being lost.
· Save Report - FEM Nodes and FEM Elements now reported with external identifiers for imported FEM models.
· Graphics of Mesh - Labelling FEM Nodes and FEM Elements with external identifiers for imported FEM models.
Results SIN Import
· Timestamp check on FEM files implemented, if non-matching date cards the user will be prompted. If the user decides to proceed, he must ensure that the model meshed and the model imported are compatible.
Bugfixes
General
· When trying to find DNV Rule Service executable, try first definition from External Applications dialog (if given), then try DNVRuleService subfolder on current GeniE installation.
· Section libraries: Will look for XML files at subfolder /Libraries under the current GeniE installation.
· Fix to the problem: When creating a new workspace with the newest version of Genie, older versions of Genie crashes if you try to create a new workspace in the same location without first deleting the files.
· Corrected random RTTI crash in Genie when opening an old database.
· Graphics performance: Ghost graphics problem has disappeared.
· Memory leaks when displaying deformed shapes, changing presentation or loadcase has disappeared

· Corrected problem with the OK, Cancel, Apply buttons being truncated at the bottom of several dialogs on Win7.
· Genie will report License Check failed if the shortcut of Genie points to the program folder. If the problem still should appear, then the shortcut must be edited to have a “Start In” to a folder that is not under “Program files …” and the folder must exist. We recommend that the “Start in” folder e.g. is : C:\DNV\Workspaces\GeniE.
Modelling
· Assigning Corrosion Addition to both Beam and Plate at the same time fails.
· Copy Dialog and Copy Offset Dialog
· Error messages were not displayed if you copy more than one object and you have failures.

· Fixed problem with graphics of beam eccentricities not cleaned up properly.
· Fixed "cannot modify the thickness of an autocone".
· Box profiles imported from BS section library causes error when meshing (IM5785). - flange thickness of box sections was invalid.
Soil/pile modelling
· Fixed potential crash when removing rows in Soil Curves GUI.
Loads
· Fixed error in computing fill height from volume for irregularly shaped compartments.
· General performance improvement for Save Report.
· Removed bottleneck when computing applied loads for compartments. Time to compute applied loads for a VLCC 3 cargo hold model reduced by an order of magnitude.
· Correction in Applied Loads Computation for Multiply Connected Compartments (IM5943).
· Creating support curves during rule load XML import takes too long time
· Resolved GeniE crash in exclude-command when importing model with multiple analyses.
· Slicer target loads can be set wrong when using different database and input units (IM5985)
· Clicking in Slicer, Target loads tab crashes GeniE for a load combination. Note that slicer does NOT support load combinations (IM5958)
· Harmonic rotation field - horizontal gravity component has sign error (IM5800). The problem is now corrected so that the phase angle of horizontal gravity due rigid body motion and inertia forces are in phase.
· Compartment Loads: correction for applied compartment loads (IM5943).
· Resetting the Angle tolerance to 0.0 deg gives unexpected load usage values (IM5788).
· Unexpected load usage values after multiple workspaces opened (IM5789).
Meshing
· Now we get edges in sorted sequence from curve. This prevents random mesh along an edge that is divided into segments of different size.
· Point loads on plate with loads given in a local coordindate system not work (IM6072).
· Fixed a crash in SimplifyTopology for some models (IM6069).
· Corrected problems with meshing of models when database units is ‘mm’.
· Corrected problem that temporary file created during meshing was not closed until exit from GeniE.
· Memory leak when computing CSR Tank loadcases with shear forces at frames.

· Corrected problem with erroneous displacements on support rigid link slave nodes when 2nd order elements (IM5924)
Code checks - frame
· Memory leak when using beam redesign dialog.
· EN1993-1-1 : Corrected factor for GammaM0=1.15 and GammaM1=1.15 when using from Norsok / Norwegian Annex and GammaM0=1.05 and GammaM1=1.05 with Norwegian Annex outside the context of Norsok. (IM5953).
· Thick welds check box was not working properly - EN1993-1-1 (IM5916)

Code checks - plate
· Correction of computation of stresses used in CSR Bulk Yield check (max elementvise vonMises stress) for load combinations.
· Correction of computation of stresses used in CSR Tank Buckling with load combinations. These will now use the appropriate combined stresses when zeroing tensile components.
Results
· Inform the user if an imported resultcase is complex : "Complex resultcase" "Real part only, Phase = 0 deg" in graphics window. There is no possibility of viewing results for other phase angles.
· Crash when changing option in Result Presentation for second model (IM5366)
· Crash when selecting attribute in Results Presentation dialog (IM5642).
· Improved handling on FEM Loads reporting for multiple analyses : When reporting from a non-active analysis - the appropritate FEM Loads sums and FEM Reaction forces are now reported from a workspace with multiple analyses.
· Discrepancy in beam force/stress diagram of shear force components (IM5740).
XML import/export
· Corrected error that made the Gensod soil data generation fail after XML import, if the location was not set as active.
· Export loadcase gravity acceleration vector also when all terms are zero. In previous releases, the acceleration vector was not exported. This made GeniE would assume a default gravity vector after import ( 0, 0, -G ), where G is the gravity acceleration, e.g. 9.80665 m/s^2). This means that exports from V3.5 will be safe, while when importing XML files from previous versions GeniE still may use default values instead of a zero acceleration vector.
· Cleaning up
illegal object names when importing xml (IM5641).
XML import gives a warning when there is no structure, and the warning is
misleading (IM5147).
