FRIENDSHIP-Framework is a generalized CAE platform for the simulation-driven design of any products with flow-related tasks. Our software allows you to automate your design variation studies and shape optimizations. We integrate with most of the leading commercial CFD codes as well as in-house codes. Are you using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) to design flow-exposed products or components? Is the fluid dynamic behavior of your design critical for realizing the performance requirements? Are you doing a lot of manual iterative work, and hoping to find an incrementally better design? Would you like to boost your product development workflow by introducing an automated process that not only saves you time but also allows you to investigate tens or hundreds of design possibilities, resulting in superior products? If your answer is yes, then FRIENDSHIP-Framework could be the perfect solution for you.

Parametric Modeling
FRIENDSHIP-Framework’s foundation is a powerful and flexible 3D parametric modeler. From the start, our modeling capabilities were specifically developed for simulation, especially CFD. Unlike traditional CAD tools, FRIENDSHIP-Framework’s main focus is the smart design of complex flow-exposed functional surfaces. For example, ship hulls, aircraft wings, arbitrarily shaped ducts, and turbomachinery blades are complex 3D shapes that are critical for achieving good performance in terms of the fluids flowing around or through them. Our innovative and proprietary modeling architecture allows you to create these geometries using intuitive parameters that are of direct relevance with regards to your design practices. With traditional CAD, your main design parameters include primary dimensions such as lengths, angles, and offsets. In FRIENDSHIP-Framework you can additionally specify smart parameters and distributions of these parameters such as curvature, cross-sectional area, volumetric displacement, center of buoyancy, etc.

CFD Coupling
FRIENDSHIP-Framework is also an integration platform that can launch and control the CFD simulation studies. Any CFD code that can be run in batch mode from a geometry file and input script can be coupled to our software. Many of our customers are using FRIENDSHIP-Framework in conjunction with popular commercial codes or proprietary in-house codes (e.g. STAR-CCM+, ANSYS Fluent/CFX, NUMECA products, OpenFOAM, SHIPFLOW to name a few). Although our main focus is with regards to CFD simulations, other CAE tools can also be coupled.
