Looking for a different CAESES setup?
Contact usThe Power Edition license comes as a complete package for advanced design processes in the context of specific applications. It includes the add-on Advanced Optimization, as well as one of the add-ons Maritime, Turbo, or Propeller
- Includes Standard Edition
- Add-on Advanced Optimization
- Add-on Maritime, Turbo, or Propeller
We offer batch mode licenses if you want to use CAESES as a geometry engine in combination with a third-party optimization tool of choice. This allows you to run up to several CAESES instances at the same time, e.g. for creating geometry variants on HPC clusters.
- Full functionality of CAESES
- Non-GUI mode
- Automated geometry variant creation
- Run optimizations on HPC cluster
CAESES for academia
In addition to the commercial editions, there are academic teaching licenses, and academic research licenses for funded research.
