Friendship Systems CAESES 全参数化建模及优化软件 3D设计

The main focus of CAESES® is the smart design and 100% robust variation of complex flow-exposed surfaces. Examples are turbochargers, pumps, ship hulls, aircraft wings, arbitrarily shaped ducts, and turbomachinery blades. Typically, these components are complex 3D shapes that are critical for achieving good performance in terms of the fluids flowing around or through them. Our innovative and proprietary modeling architecture allows you to create geometries using intuitive parameters that are of direct relevance with regards to your flow-centric design thinking.

• Create more intelligent 3D geometries
• Everything is geared towards the generation of design variants
• Smarter shape controls to reduce degrees of freedom (hence save simulation time)
• Simulation-ready and 100% robust, even for large sets of designs
• One-time CFD-preprocessing work for all geometry variants
• Examples: Blades, volutes, ducts, diffusers, pumps, engine components, wings, ship hulls

Many of our customers are using CAESES in conjunction with popular commercial codes or proprietary in-house codes (e.g. STAR-CCM+, ANSYS Fluent/CFX, NUMECA products, OpenFOAM, SHIPFLOW, to name a few).

• Automated geometry export of design variants using common CAD formats (e.g. IGES, STEP, ACIS, various STL formats)
• Specialized export formats available for defining and keeping fixed patch names (e.g. inlet, outlet, wall) intuitively through color information
• File manipulations, such as parameterizing values in ASCII template files
• Easy file and directory copy mechanisms
• Flexible definition of proprietary import and export formats using Feature Definitions
• Import and visualization of result data, such as VTK (3D post-processing with e.g. pressure plots, streamlines, iso-surfaces etc.), *.png- and *-csv-files
• Easy extraction of values in arbitrary results files such as pressure losses from CFD iteration files
• Coupling of multiple external tools and setting up sequential process chains, e.g. meshing > simulation 1 > simulation 2 > … > post-processing
• Integration of any external tool that comes with a batch mode
• Handling of Adjoint CFD, where shape sensitivities are directly mapped to the geometry parameters, for finding the most relevant design variables for optimization

With CAESES, you are equipped with state-of-the-art optimization functionality for constraint design tasks. The following capabilities are included and can be readily used:

• Parameter studies and sensitivity analysis
• Single-objective optimization strategies
• Multi-objective optimization strategies
• Optional use of surrogate models (e.g. Kriging, polynomials, neural networks)
• Variant Management
• Easily step through the different designs to look at the CFD results and the geometries, CAESES manages the entire data for you and makes design studies incredibly easy!
• Email Notifications and Push Messages
  • You are not in the office and you want to know the status of your current optimization run? Then you will enjoy our convenient notifications that can be automatically sent by CAESES‘ design engines to your mobile phone! Check out this post for more information. There is also HTTP-monitoring available to connect to runs through a browser.
