In this blog post, we have compiled the 10 major steps we typically got through to create parametric models of volutes in CAESES. In some specific situations and with very specific cross sections, we need to use different approaches. But generally the following steps work well. All screenshots and animations are taken from within the CAESES GUI. Hope you’ll like it!
We are happy to announce a partnership with AirShaper, a smart and powerful online service for aerodynamic flow analysis and performance prediction. In this context, a new glider design web app will be available soon that is based on CAESES.…
The recording of the volute design & optimization webinar is available now on YouTube and in our videos section. In this video, we guide you through a volute design process, where the focus is on automating the geometry generation process…
We are currently maintaining our license servers, which results in a short interruption of issuing the licenses. Your CAESES team
DNV GL assisted with bulk carrier optimization services for hull and machinery for a new type design Ultramax-size vessel called Diamond 2. For the hydrodynamic hull design the well-known ECO-Lines services of DNV GL were used, which also incorporate CAESES…
FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS AG strives to reduce energy consumption and emissions by supporting its customers in improving their products, most notably ships as well as turbomachinery and engine components. Therefore, we have taken a look at the question how much CO2-emissions…
New Optimus integration with CAESES further strengthens automated design optimization processes Leuven (Belgium) / Potsdam (Germany), February 6 – 2019 – Noesis Solutions, the developer of Optimus and id8, and FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS announced the release of a new direct integration with…
This article focuses on giving you a rather quick and practical guide to shape optimization with CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and other simulation tools. We’ll look into requirements for the geometry models, the meshing and simulation setup, but also at optimization strategies and distributing simulations on HPC systems.
An electric hydrofoil surfboard (efoil) is a great experience if you want to try out new things that are related to surfing or kiting. Ve Concepts Inc. (AKA VeFoil) has been working on something new and unique for the efoil…
In a recent project at Rolls-Royce Marine Norway, an innovative SWATH (Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull) hull form was investigated as an SOV (Service Operation Vessel), optimized and compared to operating monohull SOVs. The hull form was idealized by members of…
