How is CAESES used for maritime applications?
CAESES is widely used for ship hull optimization, propeller design, appendage variation, and hydrodynamic CFD workflows.
Is CAESES an optimization software?
Yes. CAESES includes integrated methods for parameter studies, Design Space Exploration (DSE), response surface methods, and shape optimization workflows.
Can CAESES intergrate with external CFD software?
Yes. CAESES can integrate with commercial, open-source, and in-house CFD tools that support automated or batch execution.
What are the benefits of CFD automation?
CFD automation allows engineers to evaluate more design variants, reduce manual effort, improve productivity, and accelerate simulation-driven product development.
Is CAESES a simulation tool?
No, CAESES does not include any simulation solvers. Instead, it integrates with external CFD and other simulation tools to automate geometry generation, meshing, simulation execution, design exploration, and optimization workflows.
