The record

Purpose: CAESES is a parametric engineering platform for simulation-driven design, geometry variation, and shape optimization.
Modeling: It provides flexible parametric NURBS modeling, geometry variation, and morphing tools for imported geometries.
Automation: CAESES can automate geometry generation, meshing, simulation, post-processing, and evaluation workflows through software connectors.
Optimization: Its methods include parameter studies, sensitivity analysis, single- and multi-objective optimization, and surrogate modeling.
Integrations: The maker lists integrations with ANSYS Workbench and optimization tools including HEEDS, Dakota, optiSLang, Optimus, and modeFRONTIER.
Solver limitation: CAESES does not include simulation solvers and instead connects to external CFD and other simulation software.
Security: The Advanced Project Security add-on offers project encryption, configurable access rights, user ID restrictions, passphrases, clipboard limits, and feature-definition locking.
Trial: Downloads for Windows and Linux include a free two-week trial.
Supported systems: The current download page lists Windows 11 and Linux tested on Debian 12 and Ubuntu 24.04.
Support: CAESES provides online documentation, video tutorials, a user forum, and dedicated engineer helpdesk support for PRO license holders.
Audience: The maker describes CAESES as intended for simulation engineers and designers developing high-performance products, and lists academic and student licenses.
Deployment: The Local Float Server is installed on an organization's server to share CAESES licenses across network users.
Maker history: The website says CAESES was developed by FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS, a German software company founded in 2001, now part of Maya HTT.
Founded: 2001
