FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS has released version 4.1 of its upfront modeling and optimization software CAESES and CAESES Free.

In version 4.1, the surface triangulation has been completely reviewed, which is important for exporting closed STL data. There is also a new tetin (*.tin) export for easy and automated meshing with ANSYS ICEM CFD. Edges and faces can be colored, and this information is maintained and directly transferred to ICEM CFD for each variant during design studies. Finally, the blade analysis method has been improved and is now able to rebuild a fully-parametric propeller based on a set of given surfaces.

About FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS:

FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS is a leader in CFD-driven shape optimization of complex free-form geometries. Our flagship product CAESES is an integration and automation platform that includes simulation-ready variable CAD, optimization algorithms, and post-processing. Customers use CAESES together with their simulation tool (most often CFD) to design and develop better products, faster, and at lower cost. Typical areas of interest include turbomachines, ducts and manifolds, engine components, aerodynamic bodies, ship hulls, amongst others.
