SimScale and FRIEND­SHIP SYSTEMS: Part­ner­ship to Improve Product Design

After a suc­cess­ful workshop orga­nized together in June/​July 2016, SimScale and FRIEND­SHIP SYSTEMS join forces to provide engi­neer­ing pro­fes­sion­als and design­ers with two powerful tools that are changing the world of product design. 

Update: For many years, we had been dis­trib­ut­ing a free edition of CAESES® called CAESES® Free, which is not avail­able anymore for new users. The free student licenses replace this edition. If you are not a student but you want to use CAESES® for a private (non-com­mer­cial) project, please write us a short message and we’ll find a way.

FRIEND­SHIP SYSTEMS’ product CAESES® Free has been devel­oped for sim­u­la­tion-driven design of flow-exposed surfaces. The tool is suited for anyone from any industry who needs free and powerful 3D CAD for para­met­ric modeling. In addition, it offers inte­gra­tion and automa­tion of sim­u­la­tion tools, and this is where SimScale comes in the scene. Being com­pletely web-based, the SimScale platform allows you to simulate your designs in the cloud, from any device and without the overhead tra­di­tional on-premises software brings, that requires hardware invest­ments and licences. CAESES® Free is not cloud-based, but offers inte­gra­tion with multiple CAE plat­forms. So far cus­tomers used CAESES® mostly together with inte­grated CFD sim­u­la­tion tools. This allowed to design and develop better products, faster, and at lower cost. Typical areas of interest include tur­bo­ma­chines, ducts and man­i­folds, engine com­po­nents, aero­dy­namic bodies, ship hulls, amongst others. The col­lab­o­ra­tion with SimScale opens a new, broad spectrum of possible analysis for the users. The designs created in CAESES® can be exported to the SimScale platform, where numer­i­cal analyses can be per­formed. Great variety of sim­u­la­tion types provided by SimScale allows to simulate flow per­for­mance of the parts with CFD and also gives access to finite element analysis (FEA) which helps to under­stand the struc­tural aspects of the design, like robust­ness, stress, and vibra­tion vul­ner­a­bil­ity, strength, possible defor­ma­tions. The para­met­ric design prepa­ra­tion provided by CAESES® and exten­sive sim­u­la­tion capa­bil­i­ties of SimScale platform bring the col­lab­o­ra­tive CAE process to the next level. Keep an eye on the 2 com­pa­nies, more free webinars and learning resources are planned, to help users design better products. 

About SimScale SimScale is an engi­neer­ing sim­u­la­tion platform that is rev­o­lu­tion­iz­ing the way engi­neers, design­ers, sci­en­tists, and students design products. The SimScale platform is acces­si­ble com­pletely via a standard web browser, har­ness­ing the power of the cloud and cutting-edge sim­u­la­tion tech­nol­ogy to build not just another sim­u­la­tion software but an ecosys­tem in which sim­u­la­tion func­tion­al­ity, content, and people are brought together in one place. Founded in 2012 in Munich, Germany, SimScale is com­prised of a talented team of engi­neers, computer sci­en­tists, and math­e­mati­cians who are ded­i­cated to making sim­u­la­tion tech­nol­ogy acces­si­ble to everyone. www.simscale.com
