For the optimization of flow-exposed products, CAESES® offers a set of strategies that allows users to automate the intelligent design creation process. Design variables are linked to the variable geometry and get controlled by algorithms that are called design engines.…
Claus Abt and Stefan Harries, CEOs of FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS After more than three years of offering CAESES® Free along with our pro-version CAESES®, we are repositioning our product portfolio. Our flag-ship product CAESES® – which comprises simulation-ready CAD and optimization…
For his masters thesis on the optimization of a rim-driven thruster for an autonomous surface vehicle (ASV), Heinrich Grümmer was honored one of the two first prices at the Students meet Industry event in 2016. The Schiffbautechnische Gesellschaft e.V. (STG)…
In the context of different R&D projects over the last few years, we at FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS have developed and implemented a new method for our product CAESES® that is based on the direct coupling of our efficient CAD parameterization and…
Last week, from 27th – 28th of October, the CAESES® Asia Users Conference 2016 was taking place in Nanjing, China. More than 100 experts from universities and well-known enterprises in China, Germany and Japan were invited to share views of…
Some time ago, our customer MTU Friedrichshafen (the core entity of Rolls-Royce Power-Systems) approached us with a very interesting request. They design large turbochargers for diesel engines, and they use CAESES® for the design of volutes and other engine components.…
Consider you have an existing geometry from another CAD system, and you want to conduct a design study with the geometry in CAESES®. Let’s assume the geometry was exported as a set of NURBS curves and surfaces, using a standard…
When it comes to sediment simulations, the results of an analysis can heavily vary depending on which values you take for certain coefficients such as the Shield’s number. Often the default values of software solutions are not suited and need…
We are very excited to have FORCE Technology as a long-term customer and partner of us. FORCE Technology has been using CAESES® for quite a long time now, for several hull line optimization projects. Just recently they have released more…
For November 2016, we have scheduled a brand-new workshop series that addresses beginners and advanced users of CAESES® and CAESES® Free. We have put them together such that interested participants can join both workshops in Potsdam, Germany. We look forward…
