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 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.
