Hello, I saw in a post here in the forum that it is possible to display the volume of a geometry in Caeses in the GUI. How is this done? I could not find anything about the volume in the documentation. Best Regards, Clara

Hello, I have a quick question. I am creating geometries in batch mode with Caeses. Is it possible to export the volume of the geometry? Or can the volume already be read from one of the output files? Thank you and Best Regards, Clara

Problem is solved. Thank you very much for the help, especially in creating the fsc-file. 🙂

Hi Mattia, thank you very much, that was really helpful. I have carried out all the steps as I understood them in the documentation and exported the script. But when I start it with a .bat file, I always get such error messages: ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Es geht los ...

Hi, I found the documentation and also tried it out using these instructions, but there were still some things that were unclear to me, so I would like to ask some more questions. To test the process, I took the "Impeller Model" from the samples. I have exported the individual components as described in the documentation. The documentation describes that I can than create the fsc-file via "file > export > FSC (CAESES Script)". However, when I go to Export in Caeses 5, only an ffw-file is suggested (see screenshot). I think this is something different, right? Where can I find the Export described in the documentation? In the impeller example, however, there is the "export" section where I can also select FSC. I have done that, is that the right way? The created fsc-file looks similar to the one in the documentation. The point where I still have problems is "Export Single Objects". I wanted to include a command in the fsc-file to automatically export the geometry as an stl-file (for example). I tried to use the syntax from the documentation, but I always get error messages. Is there already an fsc-file for the impeller from the samples, where the model is exported automatically? Thank you very much for the help Clara

Hello, I would like to integrate Caeses into HEEDS for an optimisation. For this, Caeses should build the geometry for each design point and then export it as STL. My current problem is that I don't know how to correctly include the export command in the fsc file. Does anyone have a simple example that I could use to understand this? Cheers, Clara
