GEOTHERMAL ABUNDANCE

A: Yes. ideCAD provides a free .ide file viewer called "ideCAD Viewer" which allows clients to review models without a license.

The capability in ideCAD Structural refers to the software's advanced modeling of cracked section properties for seismic and structural analysis. This feature allows engineers to more accurately simulate the real-world behavior of concrete elements—such as beams, columns, and walls—under load by reducing their stiffness to account for inevitable cracking. Key Aspects of the Cracked Section Feature

"The shear wall on the eastern core," she murmured, zooming in. The numbers flickered below the image: Stress Ratio: 1.24. Failure Imminent.

Is this for an or a new design optimization ?

While these are valid pain points,

Ignoring this reduction in stiffness leads to inaccurate structural analysis. If you model concrete using its uncracked, gross cross-sectional properties ( Igcap I sub g ), your model will:

He began adjusting the effective section stiffness modifiers , dialing in the parameters for ACI 318-19 standards. He knew that if he didn't account for the cracked section properties correctly, the building's actual drift under seismic loads would be far worse than the model predicted. With a few clicks, he modified the stiffness multipliers — for columns,

Review the long-term deflection analysis in ideCAD for long-span beams and cantilever slabs. Excessive deflection matches physical tension cracks on the top face of cantilevers or the bottom face of mid-spans. 5. Retrofitting and Resolving Structural Cracks in ideCAD

Geothermal is the Frontier for Renewable Energy Innovation

For years, geothermal has been framed as novelty. The reality is there's heat beneath your feet wherever you are. The Earth provides a steady, always-on source of energy. With modern closed‑loop wells, that warmth becomes practical for everyday heat and electricity.

Treating geothermal as primary energy changes the plan: systems can be 100% renewable, run year-round without fuel, and pair naturally with solar, wind, and batteries. Costs stay predictable because there's no fuel to buy and less battery backup required for energy security.

GeoGen has a technology stack for every use case. We build sealed-loop systems to produce heat, electricity, or both. Our systems can start small and scale as you grow, or be deployed in mass with the risk associated with other geothermal to deliver clean, dependable electricity. Whether you are seeking low cost reliable heat for your communities or massive amounts of electricity to power your factories or data centers, GeoGen has the technology to unlock the energy beneath your feet.

We're Building Geothermal That Scales Like Wind & Solar

Our mission is simple: make geothermal the most economic option for heat and power everywhere on earth. There are some places where it is better than others, so while our innovation makes it technically possible anywhere, we are dedicated to be your trusted advisor to determine if it is commercially viable where you are. We are specialists across the entire geothermal spectrum, familiar with all types and forms. Our products use sealed, closed-loop wells that work in ordinary rock, but our people are committed to ensuring you have a clear expectation of the costs output that is possible for you.

We look at our customers as partners, we insist on acting with integrity and expect excellent in everything we do.

Services & Products

Because next generation geothermal is still a very new industry, we often provide initial assessment of the geothermal potential in areas that have never considered geothermal before. Our experts can perform simple assessment without the need for major long term geological characterization of the subsurface. Our products are deployed are a repeatable increment, allowing you to learn about your geothermal potential while generating heat and electricity. After a couple short months, the design can be adjusted as required before deploying at scale. This resonates with one of the tenets of the GeoGen team, that is to “spend the least to learn the most.”

The payoff is low risk development and dependable heat and optional power without fuel, fewer price spikes, and stronger local energy security. That's how geothermal becomes everyday infrastructure alongside wind and solar.

We deliver end-to-end geothermal—scope, design, build, and support. Our goal is simple: lower cost, dependable energy without fuel risk.

Renewable Heat

Steady heat, independent from the grid, without fuel

Our sealed-loop wells deliver steady heat for hydronics, hot water, and process needs—without fuel. Use it in hospitals, campuses, greenhouses, warehouses, and districts. Start with one site and scale as you grow.

⚡

Off-Grid Heat and Power

Fuel-free heat and power for remote sites

Replace diesel with around-the-clock energy for mines, telecom, and northern communities. Fewer convoys, less noise, and steadier costs. We can also convert suitable idle wells into clean producers.

🏭

Power Generation

Reliable clean power without need for the grid

GeoGen runs day and night and complements solar and wind. Deploy a single system or cluster units for multi-megawatt sites. Ideal for strengthening rural feeders, powering microgrids, and cutting fuel use—without long transmission builds.
