GenCade

GenCade is a 1D model that combines GENESIS and Cascade. It is operated within the Surface-water Modeling System (SMS) interface. The first official release of GenCade is expected to occur in March 2011. A beta version of GenCade is presently available and can be obtained by contacting either POC below. A user guide, examples of simple cases, applications, frequently asked questions, and important information will be posted here.

GenCade will be highlighted at the CIRP Annual Technology Transfer Workshop in Jacksonville, FL, from February 7-9, 2011. This will be the first workshop to include GenCade. GenCade presentations and hands-on applications will take place on the morning of February 9. Other CIRP products such as CMS, RMAP, CPT, and CSMART will be covered during the workshop.
