GeniE version 5.0-17 is a point release of version 5.0-15 and it focuses:

1. It is now possible to access beams with line loads of type "beam footprint" via the script language. This means that users can make their own scripts accessing such line loads.
2. The installation includes a wizard for creating different types of parameterised models. The wizard is located under GeniE's help pages section for Wizard Templates. The intention is to show users how to make parametric models.
3. The British Standard profile library. There are 600 profiles implemented.

In addition, this release includes a number of error corrections. Among others, the problems related to opening an existing database, xml import (many guide curves in a set) and long path names have been fixed. Please see the release notes for further details.

We advice you to upgrade from version 5.0-15 to version 5.0-17. Please remember to uninstall the previous version before installing the new one. Please see the release notes of version 5.0-15 for instructions on how to transfer data from version 5.0-15 to version 5.0-17.

The previous GeniE version 5.0-15 significantly improve

1. design of space frame structures as a redesign and automated design iterations are implemented,
2. reporting of space frame attributes like forces and stresses (envelopes included),
3. modelling of complex surfaces as a curve net interpolation modelling technique is available and
4. analysis of FPSO's since there is a direct import of the loads according to the DNV 1A1 standard.

Furthermore, other important new features are the Danish code check standard for tubular beams (DS412/449), the ability to apply point loads and line loads to plate edges, improved XML import/export including analysis definitions as well as support curves can include spring conditions. Finally there is a license check where the user decides which program extension to lock during start-up of GeniE.
