CAESES User Conference 2022
FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS would be more than happy to welcome you to our CAESES User Conference from September 21 to 22, 2022 in Berlin, Germany! The COVID-19 pandemic has considerably restricted global travel and events over several months. Finally, national and international restrictions have been eased and it is exciting to once again be able to host face-to-face conferences to meet, educate further and effectively network – something that has been long missed.
Meet CAESES® users from all over the world, from various industries such as marine, turbomachinery, automotive and the aerospace sector.
WHEN: Sep 21-22, 2022

Event Venue
Pentahotel in Berlin Köpenick is full of contradictions, in the best kind of way. The modern 190-room complex overlooks the River Dahme and its surroundings which are steeped in medieval history. Submerge yourself in the old town of Köpenick with its town hall in the brick Gothic style of the Mark Brandenburg and the famous story of its captain. Walk along the river and visit the castle island. Berlin-Köpenick is sure to surprise you! And best of all, the transfer from Berlin’s BER airport to the Pentahotel only takes about 30 minutes.
Room Reservation
For the participants of the CAESES User Conference there is a contingent of rooms available in the Pentahotel. The standard single room costs 179 Euro per night, breakfast and use of the gym area are included. A larger room “Penta Plus” with a living and working area is available for 199 Euro per night.
You can book your room by phone ( +49 69 256 699 300 ) or by email ( reservations.koepenick@pentahotels.com ).
Please mention the code “User Conference 2022” when booking.
The room contingent is available until August 5, 2022.
September is traditionally a popular month for trade shows and events in Berlin. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you reserve a hotel room early.
Workshops
On the first conference day (Wed, Sep 21), we will offer 2 special workshops for our CAESES users with hands-on exercises. The workshops will run in parallel sessions on Wednesday morning. A detailed description of the topics covered will be available soon.
Advanced Turbomachinery Workshop
For the efficient and robust design of parametric models for the turbomachinery sector, there is a set of new powerful functionality in CAESES®. Based on demo examples, we will give you an idea of which methods are available and how to use them best to face even complex modeling situations with a high customization level. Another topic will be the new RBF morphing approach, that allows you to easily import an existing geometry model and reshape your design with regards to the flow and structural performance.
Advanced Maritime Workshop
With this being a workshop for active CAESES® users in the maritime sector, we will dig deeper into some geometry modeling and feature scripting issues. As an essential part of this interactive session, we want to discuss tasks and challenges that our users are facing. Furthermore, the new RBF Morphing functionalities will be covered, showing how to reshape your design in a matter of minutes.
Exhibition
See some exciting ship models in our exhibition area and get some insights on how to build a catamaran model in the scale of 1:10, or how the planing hull in the scope of the Autoplan research project was designed.

Excursion to Visit ELEKTRA
On Friday, September 23, we offer the opportunity to visit the ELEKTRA, a zero-emission canal push boat powered by hydrogen fuel cells and batteries.

The boat is located at the Westhafen (S-Bahnhof Westhafen) in Berlin and can be visited free of charge.
More information can be found in the flyer.
Interested in visiting the boat ? Let us know in the registration form below.
Preliminary Agenda
There will be speakers and CAESES users from all over the world, talking about how to create the most competitive products on the market. You can expect exclusive and fascinating insights into the simulation-driven design of automotive engine combustion systems, ship hulls and yachts, pumps, and wind turbines.
