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 was highlighted during two CIRP Workshops in 2011. The first took place in February 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 was featured in San Diego in August. The next CIRP Workshop is scheduled for March 2012 in Philadelphia. An overview of all CIRP tools, including GenCade, will be given on the first morning. A hands-on session of GenCade will take place during the second afternoon.
