FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS will be present at the Europe-Korea Conference on Science and Technology 2016. One of the founders of FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS, Dr. Stefan Harries, will give a presentation about “Simulation‐driven Design for Maritime Assets” on the 29th of July. More…
Best Designs and Pareto Frontier
As some of our CAESES® users may already know, we really love to squeeze in small pieces of useful functionality into our maintenance releases. Why wait for a major release if our users can benefit from them right now? This…
Video: Parametric Skeg Modeling in 2 Minutes
Dear ship designers, In this blog post we want to demonstrate how fast the creation of a parametric skeg can be achieved in CAESES®. Given is a bare ship hull surface. This surface is then taken as the only input…
How to define boundaries in CAESES for ANSYS ICEM CFD
As most of you probably know, ICEM CFD is a popular meshing software from ANSYS. It is also one of the most used meshing software when we talk about our CAESES® customer base. ICEM CFD can be perfectly integrated in…
New Export Format for CONVERGE Users
Just a few weeks ago, one of our colleagues started a comprehensive optimization of an automotive engine component with CAESES®. More detailed, he had been investigating a piston bowl design. For the CFD analysis he used the simulation software CONVERGE…
CAESES® and NavCad® Coupled Solution Highlighted at COMPIT 2016
Much of the commentary regarding hull form optimization found in industry journals and proceedings focuses on process and methodology rather than outcome. The recent paper presented by HydroComp, Inc. (Durham NH USA) and FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS at the 15th Conference on…
