CAESES® is a powerful software platform developed by FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS, tailored for simulation-driven design and data-driven engineering. It empowers engineers to create, automate, and optimise complex part and component geometries using performance simulations, accelerating product development, reducing costs, and improving outcomes.
The foundation for smarter engineering
In today’s competitive engineering landscape, designing better products faster is essential. CAESES supports this by tightly integrating with industry-standard simulation tools – including CFD, structural, thermal, and electromagnetic analysis software – to drive performance-based design. Users combine CAESES with their simulation environment to efficiently explore large design spaces, test ideas, and identify optimal solutions based on real-world performance criteria.
CAESES can be used as a standalone solution or be integrated into a larger design system. Its flexible interfaces and scripting capabilities allow full customization and process automation. This makes it ideal for teams working in multi-disciplinary environments and for companies pursuing digital transformation through design process automation.
Intelligent geometry modelling
At the core of CAESES is a uniquely powerful geometry engine, built for robust and intelligent parameterisation. Whether modelling from scratch or morphing imported geometries, users can create parametric designs that respond predictably to changes. These models serve as the foundation for simulation-driven studies, allowing for the automatic generation and export of thousands of design variants.
CAESES offers:
- Advanced parametric modelling tools
- Morphing capabilities for imported shapes
- Full support for manufacturing and geometrical constraints
- Seamless export of simulation-ready geometry
This approach enables highly flexible and accurate control over geometry while ensuring that all variants remain valid and simulation-compatible – crucial for high-fidelity design studies and machine learning model training.
Automate, optimise, and learn
CAESES includes a comprehensive optimisation and analysis environment designed to support iterative and data-driven engineering workflows. It can interface with any external simulation software and manage complete automation of the design-evaluate-optimise loop. The platform supports both traditional optimization techniques and modern AI/machine learning-based strategies.
Leveraging AI in CAESES can:
- More rapidly identify optimal solutions while balancing complex performance, manufacturing, and regulatory requirements
- Create ongoing value from computed simulation data, reusing insights across current and future design tasks
- Provide real-time predictions and a deeper understanding of design-performance relationships
- Enable more complex, multi-objective, and multi-disciplinary optimisation by nesting and linking models across domains
- Reduce the number of costly simulations needed to reach optimal designs
This powerful blend of simulation automation and AI-assisted design helps engineers make faster, smarter decisions throughout the development cycle.
Simulation-driven design and data-driven engineering in action
CAESES is widely adopted in industries where performance, precision, and efficiency are critical – especially marine, turbomachinery, aerospace, and automotive sectors. Engineers rely on CAESES to optimise:
- Ship hulls and propellers
- Fans, pumps, or turbines
- Engine components such as turbochargers and in-cylinder geometries
- Aerodynamic or hydrodynamic shapes
- Electromagnetic and thermally sensitive components
By combining simulation-driven design with data-driven decision-making, CAESES enables users to shorten development cycles, reduce prototype costs, and improve product performance.
