CAESES release 2026.1

The latest release of CAESES intro­duces major enhance­ments across usabil­ity, system inte­gra­tion, security, and geometry handling. Version 2026.1 con­tin­ues to strengthen per­for­mance, inter­op­er­abil­ity, and overall design workflow efficiency.

New release naming

With version 2026.1, CAESES intro­duces a new naming scheme and rolling release strategy. This approach supports a more con­tin­u­ous delivery model, enabling regular improve­ments while main­tain­ing clear version trace­abil­ity across updates.

Dark Mode & Refreshed Interface

CAESES now features a mod­ern­ized graph­i­cal user inter­face and a new dark mode option. The updated design improves con­sis­tency, read­abil­ity, and overall usabil­ity across the application.

Key improve­ments include:

• Improved visual con­sis­tency across modules
• Enhanced read­abil­ity in complex modeling environments
• More com­fort­able long-session usage
• Refined layout behavior for flexible work­space handling

Windows Desktop Integration

CAESES is now more deeply inte­grated into the Windows envi­ron­ment, improv­ing everyday usabil­ity and workflow continuity.

Key updates include:

• Native support for Windows Snap Layouts
• Standard Windows keyboard shortcuts
• Smoother window resizing and docking behavior
• Improved mul­ti­task­ing across applications

Project-Level Security & Access Controls

A wide range of security capa­bil­i­ties in the new add-on Advanced Project Security provide stronger control over sen­si­tive design data at project level.

Key features include:

• Password or license-based project locking
• Restric­tion of feature editing rights
• Clip­board extrac­tion pro­tec­tion for sen­si­tive models

Plug In Your Own Opti­miza­tion Algorithm

CAESES now enables seamless inte­gra­tion with external opti­miza­tion work­flows via the new External Opti­miza­tion Engine.

This allows users to:

• Connect external opti­miza­tion algo­rithms directly to CAESES
• Drive geometry gen­er­a­tion from third-party tools
• Exchange data via a struc­tured JSON interface

Native Para­solid export

Para­solid export is now fully inte­grated into CAESES Standard Edition. Com­pletely re-engi­neered as a native module, it replaces the previous trans­la­tor with an in-house imple­men­ta­tion that is main­tained and devel­oped inde­pen­dently of external release cycles.

Key updates include:

• No separate add-on license required
• Support for ASCII (.x_​t) and binary (.x_​b) formats
• Improved robust­ness for complex geometries
• Fully in-house imple­men­ta­tion, inde­pen­dent of external translators

A fresh look for CAESES

CAESES now comes with a renewed visual identity; think of it as a fresh face for your everyday design environment.

The update includes a new logo, a refined color scheme, and a more con­sis­tent visual language across the platform and com­mu­ni­ca­tion mate­ri­als. The aim is a cleaner, more modern look that improves recog­ni­tion and brings a more unified expe­ri­ence across all touchpoints.
