Released CAESES 4.2.2

We have released version 4.2.2 of our geometry modeling and opti­miza­tion software CAESES®.

Dynamic Names of Result Files

When you set up a software con­nec­tor to inte­grate an external tool, there is now critical improve­ment for dynamic file names. So if you use expres­sions to specify file names, we highly rec­om­mend to update to this new version. 

Result Table: Fixed Design Column

This came in as another user request and we squeezed it into this update: Fixing the first column of the design results table. With this small improve­ments, the design name is always visible when scrolling through the design vari­ables and objec­tives. In this iter­a­tion, the color and sta­tis­tic settings can now also be shown or hidden through a button click. 

Inter­po­la­tion between Given Merid­ional Contours

There is an addi­tional inter­po­la­tion method for creating the stream surface at a specific radius between two given merid­ional contours. In addition to the default arc-length-based inter­po­la­tion, you can now take into account the given para­me­ter­i­za­tion of the input curves. This gives you more control about this process, and a better inter­po­la­tion result for more special merid­ional contours such as the ones from multi-stage pumps. 

Dis­place­ment Calculation

The dis­place­ment of ship hulls based on the tes­sel­la­tion has been further improved. The accuracy of such cal­cu­la­tions could be sub­stan­tially increased for for trimeshes, surface groups and breps.

What Else?

There have been many enhance­ments and impor­tant fixes which are all listed in the changes log. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if things are not clear or if you have any ques­tions regard­ing this new release. We look forward to your feedback on it :-)
