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 2011. A beta version of GenCade is presently available and can be obtained by contacting the POC below. A user guide, examples of simple cases, applications, frequently asked questions, and important information will be posted here. A Technical Report is presently being drafted.

GenCade is a one-line shoreline simulation model that combines the capabilities of regional-scale, planning-level calculations of CasCade and project-scale, engineering design-level calculations of GENESIS. GenCade computes shoreline change and wave-induced longshore and cross-shore sand transport. It is operated within the Surface-water Modeling System (SMS) 11.1 interface and higher SMS. The model was officially released in April 2012 and SMS 11.1 was released in October 2012. Publications for GenCade, including technical reports, notes, tutorial materials (video clips and presentation slides) can be found on the [https://cirp.usace.army.mil/products/gencade.php CIRP website GenCade page].

The GenCade interface is undergoing an overhaul and is presently being developed for SMS 13.3. This new interface will be available later this year (2024) and an update to SMS 13.3.

GenCade was highlighted during a morning session at the CIRP Annual Technology Transfer Workshop in Jacksonville, FL. This was the first workshop to include GenCade. About 25 students listened to several GenCade presentations, watched a demonstration, and participated in a hands-on example. A full day session of GenCade will be featured at another workshop later this year. The CIRP website will be updated when workshop information has been finalized.

Summary


GenCade is a one-line shoreline simulation model that combines the capabilities of regional-scale, planning-level calculations of CasCade and project-scale, engineering design-level calculations of GENESIS. GenCade computes shoreline change and wave-induced longshore and cross-shore sand transport. It is operated within the Surface-water Modeling System (SMS) 11.1 interface and higher SMS. The model was officially released in April 2012 and SMS 11.1 was released in October 2012. Publications for GenCade, including technical reports, notes, tutorial materials (video clips and presentation slides) can be found on the CIRP website GenCade page.

The GenCade interface is undergoing an overhaul and is presently being developed for SMS 13.3. This new interface will be available later this year (2024) and an update to SMS 13.3.
