Season’s Greetings from FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS


We wish you and your loved ones a joyous holiday season filled with happiness, peace, and prosperity. May the New Year bring new opportunities and exciting breakthroughs for all!

The research and development project VIT-VI focuses on artificial intelligence (AI) methods and their use in the context of virtual, sustainable aero engine development. The focus is on building and strengthening AI competencies and increasing the use of artificial intelligence methods to enhance productivity in data- and simulation-driven design.

Achieving optimal efficiency and performance is crucial for the design of propellers. A combination of AI and CFD helped win a recent propeller design competition hosted by Daniel Riley, a maker and popular YouTube creator (RCTestflight). Using CAESES and AirShaper we generated two high-performance propellers that demonstrated remarkable efficiency.

The America’s Cup is not only a fierce sporting, but also an engineering competition. Years of development culminate in two months of intense match racing. Designing the hull of an AC75 presents a complex engineering challenge, with numerous factors to consider.

FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS congratulates INEOS Britannia on a well deserved victory of the Louis Vuitton Cup. We are extremely proud that you have chosen CAESES and our know-how as components in the development and optimization process of your contender’s hull for the 37th America’s Cup.

The final agenda for the CAESES User Conference 2024 is now available! The lineup is awesome, and we also have a great set of sponsors and partner companies that add further expertise to this major event.

Check out the interesting publications from the TrAM research project that show the use of CAESES in the design and optimization process of the fast catamaran ferry.

Are you working in the field of turbomachinery design and would like to get to know CAESES®? Are you struggling with the parameterization of complex geometries or would you like to set up more efficient processes for simulation-driven design?

Traditional propeller designs are no longer sufficient to meet energy efficiency requirements, prompting the need for unconventional designs, such as tip-rake propellers. An optimization framework for tip-rake propellers was developed to efficiently generate suitable designs from given input parameters.

Check out our latest publication on ‘Simulation-driven design of a fast monohull’ that is publicly available for you to read.
