Suc­cess­ful CAESES Users Meeting 2019

First of all, thanks a lot to all atten­dees of the CAESES® Users Meeting 2019 (Sep­tem­ber 18 – 20) for making this event such a huge success! Each and everyone from FRIEND­SHIP SYSTEMS fully enjoyed meeting up and chatting with you. As usual, your ideas and your feedback were a great source of inspiration.

Work­shops

On the first day, before getting together over drinks at the welcome recep­tion, we had a choice of two CAESES® work­shops (begin­ners and advanced workshop). The goal was to help new users getting started with CAESES®, and to show some of the advanced modeling tech­niques as well as tips and tricks, respectively.

Exhi­bi­tion

What a bustling exhi­bi­tion! Software vendors from the opti­miza­tion, meshing, and CFD solver space shared their exper­tise and solu­tions with the atten­dees, and used the oppor­tu­nity to discuss current chal­lenges and trends in the CAE sector.

User Pre­sen­ta­tions

All pre­sen­ters did a fan­tas­tic job! The con­fer­ence part of the users meeting was kicked off by keynotes from Philip Ehrhorn, the Co-Inventor of the ​“The Great Bubble Barrier“, and Dr. Yuan­jiang Pei from the Aramco Research Center in Detroit. They were followed by CAESES users from all over the world, talking about how to create the most com­pet­i­tive products on the market. The pre­sen­ta­tions gave exclu­sive and fas­ci­nat­ing insights into the sim­u­la­tion-driven design of auto­mo­tive engine com­bus­tion systems, tur­bocharg­ers, pumps, ship hulls, racing yachts, hydro and wind turbines. The audience could get a very good overview of where and how CAESES® is used. At the same time, one could get an idea of how chal­leng­ing all these dif­fer­ent appli­ca­tions are, with all their complex design con­straints and pressing time-schedules.

Social Event

After a hearty Bavarian dinner at the Paulan­er’s, we enjoyed some fan­tas­tic musical enter­tain­ment by the band ​“Die Guten”. A special thank you to everyone who joined us on the dance floor! ;)

Ded­i­cated Sessions

On the morning of day two, we had ded­i­cated parallel sessions under the head­lines of holistic ship design (with pre­sen­ters from the R&D project HOLISHIP) and advanced tur­bo­ma­chin­ery design (with pre­sen­ters from the R&D project GAMMA). These sessions gave the audience the oppor­tu­nity to ask more detailed ques­tions in the cor­re­spond­ing field of interest, as well as some deeper insights into how R&D drives several CAESES® developments.
