For designers of pumps and turbochargers we offer a new feature for the creation of an impeller’s periodic flow domain. Such a domain helps to readily mesh a design candidate with your meshing software of choice. The generated domain geometry…
Video: Adjusting Displacement and LCB in 5 Minutes
In our latest CAESES® release 4.1.2, we have improved the methods to change existing geometries by means of shift transformations and shape deformations. In this context, existing geometries mainly means data that is given in another CAD system, and which…

We have released version 4.1.2 of our Upfront modeling and optimization software CAESES® and CAESES® Free. A short summary of the most important changes and improvements can be found below. All details about new features, changes and bug fixes can…
FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS and Flow Science Form Partnership
Today, Flow Science, Inc. and FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS have announced a partnership. Optimization is an integral part of any design process that incorporates simulation. Flow Science and FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS have partnered to offer FLOW-3D users a push-button solution that allows for…
Recording Available: Automated Geometry Optimization using FLOW-3D Cast and CAESES
The recording of our joint webinar with Flow Science is now available and can be downloaded from their webinar resources page. The video shows how to couple FLOW-3D Cast and CAESES® for the automation of the design work flow.
Successful Design Challenges at SMM 2016
Last week at the SMM 2016 in Hamburg, Germany, FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS had finished two design challenges for the CFD-based optimization of ship hulls. Challenge 1: Ship Optimization on an iPad In the first challenge, participants could modify the parametric…
SMM 2016 OSV Design Optimization Challenge
The world’s leading maritime trade fair SMM 2016 is currently taking place in Hamburg, Germany. This year, we decided to go there, and run a competition for the optimization of a ship hull design. We have picked a demo offshore…
HOLISHIP receives “Blessing” from EU–Commission
The face of ship design is changing. The vastly increasing complexity of European built ships and maritime structures as well as the growing number of rules and regulations call for novel concepts of product design and testing. To address this…
Polycurve and Surface Splitting
The polycurve type in CAESES® is something that gets used quite a lot, in particular in the context of surface generation through the meta surface technology where you need to have a single curve definition. The polycurve simply takes a…
How to Create a Propeller Blade Tip
In our propeller design projects for maritime applications (i.e. ship and boat design), we use a special feature for creating the blade’s tip surface. This is a tricky region because there is a singularity, and as a designer you need…
