GENOA utilizes Java for an enriched Graphical User Interface (GUI) and stand-alone Fortran/C++ compiled executables for analysis. GENOA requires Java 1.5 and Java3D 1.3.1 for 3D graphic model displaying. GENOA runs on Windows 2000, Windows XP and Linux platforms. GENOA reads NASTRAN, ABAQUS, ANSYS and MHOST (Default) input datasets. It can use NASTRAN, MARC, ABAQUS, ANSYS, LS-DYNA, or MHOST (Default) as the finite element solvers
