Dear community: I am working on the optimization of tip-raked propellers for hydro-acoustics. To do so I have parameterized the tip rake of a propeller based on the tip rake value and a geometrical parameter named "p" that accounts for the curvature of the rake distribution curve. Now, I have built my first population of geometries based on LHS sampling. With that population (200 models) I have built a surrogate. However, now I want to refine the reduced order model by building a new population closer to the optimum point. To do so I am trying to call the project fsc script with python and modify the tip rake and p parameter bounds. However, when I start scripting in python I do not manage to even open the project with CAESES from a python script. Can someone help? Find atached both the project script and the project file. Thank you! 🙂 P.S: I need to do it from python scripts instead of directly in CAESES mainly because I need to do some processes outside CAESES and also because I will work in a batch environment (HPC) CAESES_CLT_OPT_v2.cdbc script_trial.fsc

Dear community: I am working on a parameterized model of a Contracted Tip Loaded Propeller (CLT-Propeller), with the aim of performing a multi-objective optimization study. To do so, I need to generate a closed surface. However, I am experiencing problems to close the blades and fillet the joints with the hub. The thing is I cannot use the tip feature to close this geometry, I need to close it as if I was closing the "hole" given by the last section in Rhinoceros. I don't know if this example is clarifying but basically as if it was for a ducted propeller. If anyone can help that would be amazing. Find attached the project.
