In our propeller design projects for maritime applications (i.e. ship and boat design), we use a special feature for creating the blade’s tip surface. This is a tricky region because there is a singularity, and as a designer you need…
Maric, one of the leading companies in Chinese shipping industry and also a new user of CAESES®, organized a seminar about “Hull form optimization using CAESES®” in Shanghai. Jiangnan shipyard, Hudong shipyard, SDARI, Wuhan University of technology and several other…
After a successful workshop organized together in June/July 2016, SimScale and FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS join forces to provide engineering professionals and designers with two powerful tools that are changing the world of product design. FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS’ product CAESES® Free has been…
Efficient Geometry for TurboLab Stator Optimization Some time ago, we were asked whether we can provide a variable and robust CAD model for the TU Berlin TurboLab Stator test case. This stator is installed in a measurement rig at the…
FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS will be present at the Europe-Korea Conference on Science and Technology 2016. One of the founders of FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS, Dr. Stefan Harries, will give a presentation about “Simulation‐driven Design for Maritime Assets” on the 29th of July. More…
As some of our CAESES® users may already know, we really love to squeeze in small pieces of useful functionality into our maintenance releases. Why wait for a major release if our users can benefit from them right now? This…
Dear ship designers, In this blog post we want to demonstrate how fast the creation of a parametric skeg can be achieved in CAESES®. Given is a bare ship hull surface. This surface is then taken as the only input…
As most of you probably know, ICEM CFD is a popular meshing software from ANSYS. It is also one of the most used meshing software when we talk about our CAESES® customer base. ICEM CFD can be perfectly integrated in…
Just a few weeks ago, one of our colleagues started a comprehensive optimization of an automotive engine component with CAESES®. More detailed, he had been investigating a piston bowl design. For the CFD analysis he used the simulation software CONVERGE…
Much of the commentary regarding hull form optimization found in industry journals and proceedings focuses on process and methodology rather than outcome. The recent paper presented by HydroComp, Inc. (Durham NH USA) and FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS at the 15th Conference on…
