Description

CAESES® serves as a versatile and robust parametric 3D modeling tool designed to streamline variable geometry with a minimized set of parameters. Its primary aim is to facilitate the creation of clean, durable parametric geometries that lend themselves well to automated meshing and thorough analysis. Users can seamlessly integrate, initiate, and oversee their simulation processes, making it an excellent graphical user interface for process automation, complete with 3D post-processing features. The software provides built-in techniques for automated design exploration and shape optimization, allowing for the enhancement of imported geometries through CAESES' advanced shape deformation and morphing capabilities. As a fully command-driven platform, CAESES® can be extensively scripted and tailored to meet specific project requirements, and it also supports batch mode operations. You can significantly expedite your shape optimization workflow by applying the outcomes of adjoint flow analyses directly to geometry parameters. In just a few days, you can have your adaptable CAESES model ready, tailored to your specifications and designed for ease of use, requiring no prior expertise in CAESES. The platform’s intuitive nature ensures that even newcomers can effectively harness its powerful capabilities.
