Equivalent Material Properties of Metallic, Polymer and Ceramic Composites
GENOA determines material strength, moduli, moisture, thermal, and heat conductivity properties. Degradation of material properties to environmental (moisture, thermal), and manufacturing (defects, residual strains) is included.

Durability & Damage Tolerance
GENOA evaluates the material/structural response, including: life cycle, degradation of material properties due to initiation, location of failure, and growth of damage under in-service operations and environments (static, dynamic, thermal, creep, impact, and low/high/random frequency cyclic fatigue). GENOA identifies the percent contribution of various possible composite failure modes. GENOA predicts the inspection interval, incipient damage locations, and margin of safety.

Manufacturability
GENOA accounts for minimum defect occurrences (i.e. voids, buckling, wrinkling), fiber jamming, and fiber volume fraction. It can handle precision manufacturing, smart materials and processes, and smart structures. GENOA can determine the best fit to a shape as well as optimum aeroelastic fiber angle orientations.

Virtual Testing Tool
GENOA virtually duplicates the experimental testing process. It can computationally replicated photoelasticity, far field strains, material fracture parameters, strain gage readings, and margin of safety calculations.

Probabilistic Failure Analysis
GENOA's Probabilistic Failure Analysis: Identifies progressive damage parameters and their sensitivity; Evaluates the uncertainty of material strength to material parameters; Determines sensitivities of failure modes to design parameters to facilitate targeting design parameter changes that will be most effective in reducing probability of a given failure mode from occurring, and: calculates the probability of failure.
