CAESES by Friendship Systems

Flexible and robust variable geometry for design studies and optimization.

CAESES is a platform for simulation and data-driven design. It includes simulation-ready parametric geometry modeling and variation, optimization capabilities, and data analysis. Customers use CAESES together with their simulation tool – most often computational fluid dynamics (CFD) – to design and develop better products faster and more cost effectively.

Why CAESES?

Efficient Parameterization

Intelligent, efficient parameterization of complex geometries that are challenging to parameterize in other CAD systems.

Robust Variation

Fully robust geometry variation for design studies and optimization, including the consideration of geometry constraints.

Fully Customizable

No black box models and flexible integration in existing workflows. Every aspect of the process can be configured by the user to their requirements.

Key Features

Parametric Modeling

Smart, efficient parameterization of even the most complex geometries (e.g. freeform shapes), suited for automatic generation of geometry variants.

Geometry Morphing

Modification of imported geometries through a toolbox of flexible, easy-to-use morphing methods.

Constraint Handling

Consideration of geometrical constraints, e.g. due to manufacturing or packaging reasons, to ensure feasible design variants.

Simulation-Ready Export

Geometry export that can be fed directly to coupled simulation tools without manual preparation steps.

Simulation Interfacing

Open, user-configurable interface to couple to arbitrary external simulation tools.

Optimization

Wide selection of optimization algorithms and methods for design studies and geometry processing.
