In a recent project at Rolls-Royce Marine Norway, an innovative SWATH (Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull) hull form was investigated as an SOV (Service Operation Vessel), optimized and compared to operating monohull SOVs. The hull form was idealized by members of…
There is a new blog post available on the GridPro blog, which gives you a good summary of shape optimization techniques in the context of CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics). There are also a couple of interesting CAESES pictures and videos, so…
We have released a new maintenance version of CAESES® for the latest version 4.4. The new release can be downloaded here. Here is a selection of issues that have been resolved: Bug Fixes Resolved an editor problem when running CAESES® on Win10. Dakota optimization…
We are excited to announce the new CAESES® 4.4 release, which can now be downloaded from our website. Based on the great input and feature requests from our users and partners, the functionality and the resulting benefits are constantly growing. This…
The CAESES® team is on its way to the the 36. CADFEM ANSYS Simulation Conference, which will be held this week in Leipzig, Germany. We look forward to meeting you there, and to discussing how to integrate CAESES® into the ANSYS Workbench…
We are excited to announce that this year more than 150 attendees joined the 3rd Conference on Intelligent Industrial Design Technology in Nanjing which comprised the CAESES® Chinese Users Meeting 2018. This annual event is organized by our partner NJTF and it was a…
Have you ever thought about the fitness of your geometry models? When you are preparing parametric geometry models for automated workflows, you need to make sure they are robust and do not break during variation. For complex models with a…
There is a new summary video available about turbine blade design and fluid domain generation. The hub and shroud curves can be defined as well as the custom 2D/3D profiles using feature definitions. The geometry generation process can be fully…
Recently, we had a request from an engineering company that uses a standard parametric CAD software to design their product. They gave us a call because they wanted to run automated shape optimization along with some simulation tools, but they had…
CFD Support and FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS jointly worked on an efficient and automated design workflow to optimize the rotor blades of an axial fan. The motivation and starting point of this work was the fact that fan designers and fan manufacturers…
