CAESES

CAESES is a CAD modeler and optimization software designed specifically for simulation engineers. It provides a flexible and automated design system for creating robust geometry models that can be integrated into simulation-driven optimization loops. Suitable for companies of all sizes, from small startups to large corporations, CAESES is widely used by simulation engineers, CFD engineers, naval architects, aerospace engineers, and automotive engineers in various industries.

Key Features

CAD Modeling: CAESES is a parametric 3D modeler that enables flexible and robust geometry modeling. It focuses on creating variable geometry models with a reduced number of parameters, making it efficient for simulation-driven design studies. The dependency-based modeling approach ensures the geometry remains intact and can regenerate without any issues. The models generated in CAESES are clean, watertight, and suitable for automated meshing and analysis.

Simulation-Ready: CAESES generates simulation-ready geometries that are well-suited for automated meshing and analysis. The models include fixed patch identifiers, such as colors, which facilitate automated meshing and post-processing. The geometry is clean, closed, and can be easily exported to various simulation tools. CAESES also supports the import and healing of existing geometries to prepare them for simulation.

CFD Automation: CAESES seamlessly integrates with various simulation tools, allowing for the integration, launch, and control of CFD runs. It serves as a GUI for process automation, including 3D post-processing. CAESES efficiently handles data exchange and file management between the CAD model and the simulation software. It also offers batch mode capabilities for automating external tools.

Optimization: CAESES offers integrated methods for automated design explorations and shape optimization. It provides both single-objective and multi-objective optimization strategies. Surrogate models, such as Kriging and Neural Networks, can be utilized for optimization tasks. Variant management and result assessment tools are available for post-processing and comparison of design candidates.

Shape Deformation: CAESES allows for the optimization of existing NURBS geometries, surface meshes, and volume meshes. It provides shape deformation and morphing techniques for quick design optimization. The focus is on reshaping designs based on flow and structural performance. Importing and modifying existing geometries is made straightforward with CAESES.

Powerful Scripting: CAESES is a command-driven platform that can be fully scripted and customized. It offers a batch mode for running automated processes without manual intervention. The scripting capabilities enable advanced customization and task automation. CAESES supports the creation of custom templates for easy and user-friendly model control.

Adjoint CFD: CAESES supports adjoint CFD analysis for shape optimization. The results of adjoint flow analysis can be mapped to the geometry parameters, accelerating the shape optimization process. This reduces the number of model parameters and expedites optimization.

Custom Templates: CAESES allows the creation of custom templates tailored to specific needs. These templates can be developed in a few days without requiring CAESES expertise. They provide a flexible and user-friendly interface for non-experts to control the models. Custom templates can be utilized for geometry control, exporting, and running full optimizations.
