exportCurvesPointsTocvs.cdbHi Ray, here is an example.

Hi, I don't think the SBGO will take integer design variables. An option would be to post-process the designvariable used as a factor or the stepsize to an integer, see example attached. testStepsInSBGO.cdb

If you set up the script to run your analysis such that it will not return before the result file is written, everything should be fine. You could stay in the script within a loop, checking for the creation of the output file. Best Regards, Claus

Hi Avishai, Simon is travelling this week. You could set up a feature that uses a COM interface to run Maxsurf. Then you could use the software connector to start your Python analysis. If you define an output of Maxsurf as an input to the software connector and take the output of the analysis as an objective, all objects should know of their respective suppliers and wait until they are available. Then you can simply run an optimization. Hope that helps Claus

If you keep two layers fixed and move the third point in line of these two first points it will still be curvature continuous. If you move it out of the line you will only maintain tangency continuity. If you keep 3 layers untouched, you will keep curvature continuity. BTW please use CAESES 5 for your work, there is also documentation at https://docs.caeses.com

HI Liuxuyang, Did you have a look into our propeller models? If you want to share your model we can give you some advice. You can send it to info [at] friendship-systems.com. Best Regards

HI dongdongdong, There is no real mirror in CAESES. If you want to have an object mirrored you can create a copy and add a transformation. Actually for hull shapes there is a BRep operation "addMirrored" that will do it for you and combines the two sides in one new BRep. Best Regards Claus

HI dongdongdong, Here is an example: functions.cdb

HI Shafeeh, Here is a model of a rim drive. Best Regards Clausrimdrive.cdb

Hej Gustaf, Can you create a ticket in the helpdesk https://helpdesk.caeses.com/ and share your project file, please? Looks like the parametrization is different to what you would like to achieve. The ruled surface connects the curves at the same parameter values, hence you can manipulate them by changing the parametrization, e.g. unit speed or even custom. Cheers Claus

HI Jake, Can you send the propeller file again? I can not find it in my archives.

Please insert a reasonable knotspacing value in the BRep and datareduction afterthe transformation. The transformation might otherwise rip the geometry apart, since it moves the control points of the vessels representation. In the flat of bottom area there might be only a few and that needs to be refined. Cheers Claus

The reference points for the trimming did not hit the Brep. Alos,is there any reason why you took 2000 sections for the bottom surface? TestSWAN_v2_trimmed.cdbc

Jake, Ceyhan is not in the office these days. Will take a little until he responds 😕 Best Regards Claus

Hi Jake, I received your question, unfortunately I am a bit busy theses days ... I'll come back to you.
