Simulation-driven ship hull design and optimization
Explore and optimize hull forms through parametric geometry control, automated simulation workflows, and multidisciplinary design studies.
Why simulation-driven approach?
Model
Parametric modeling of hulls, appendages, and propulsors — or flexible morphing of imported geometries (NURBS or discrete).
Connect
Alternatively, flexible and powerful morphing capabilities for quick but controlled modification of imported geometries (discrete or NURBS based).
Optimize
CAESES® offers integrated methods for automated design explorations and shape optimization.

CAESES’ ship hull design capabilities
CAESES is a specialized CAD and automation tool for optimizing complex, high-performance geometries, particularly for designing advanced ship hulls.
Smart parametric modeling
Complete parametric modeling capabilities for any type of hull, including container ships, tankers, bulkers, ferries, cruise ships, catamarans, yachts, planning hulls, etc.
Smart parametric modeling approach based on parameterized cross-sections and continuous control of the respective input parameters.
Intuitive yet customizable
Dedicated component-based modeling workflows for ship hulls greatly simplify the process.
Yet, high level of customization, i.e., no black box models and full freedom to set up user-defined parameterizations and workflows.

“Before introducing CAESES we ran about one hundred RANSE simulations per year. On the basis of CAESES we are now able to undertake several ten thousands of viscous simulations every year with no additional effort. This gives us an exceptional insight for key product decisions that we would not be able to generate without CAESES.”
Michael Palm
Head of Ship Hydrodynamics, VOITH Turbo
“In our experience, using CAESES for creating parametric models was MUCH faster and easier than with our traditional CAD tool – hours versus weeks! For complex geometries, the traditional CAD tool was not the optimum solution because when creating variants we experienced a lot of infeasible geometries, whereas in CAESES we had almost 100% success. At Sirehna, CAESES has become an indispensable tool for conducting comprehensive shape optimization studies in an automated CFD-driven design process.”

FAQs
Why would I need an additional CAD system?
The advantages of early-stage Design Space Exploration (DSE) are well recognized within the fast-ship design community. By evaluating design variations in the process, DSE can significantly influence both fundamental design and business decisions, and enhance the effectiveness of later simulations that rely on resource-intensive, higher-order methods.
