Caedium is our affordable, easy-to-use, expandable Computer-Aided Engineering system. Using our SymLab system you can assess the performance of concept designs by creating geometry, simulating fluid flow, and visualizing results under both steady-state and transient conditions.

Welcome

Caedium

Our free Caedium download provides a unified simulation environment for Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) that is easy to learn and fun to use.

Caedium In ActionCaedium In Action

Use this free package to share 3D Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation results for interactive viewing. Caedium supports multiple simulations, multiple 3D views of a simulation, and up to 4 camera angles of a view.

Expand Caedium's capabilities by purchasing affordable subscriptions to Caedium add-ons (described below). All the Caedium add-ons seamlessly interact within the same unified simulation environment.

See our Caedium Product Comparisons for pricing and a detailed breakout of each add-on.

Caedium Professional

For a complete concept design analysis system, consider our Professional add-on, which combines all our add-ons at a discounted price.

Caedium RANS Flow [NEW]

Our Caedium RANS Flow add-on uses state-of-the-art Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) flow solvers capable of simulating realistic, viscous fluid flow and heat transfer over and through virtually any configuration. Application examples include the external flow over a wind-turbine, aircraft, car, or a submersible, or the internal flow through a computer case, mining drill, pipe, or duct.

Caedium RANS Flow SimulationCaedium RANS Flow Simulation

Our seamless integration of advanced 3D visualization techniques within Caedium such as streamlines, vectors, iso-surfaces and contours makes it easy to extract and share stunning fluid-flow images. 2D XY plotting is also an integral part of the RANS Flow add-on making it easy to compare results with other Caedium simulations or with imported results such as those from wind tunnel experiments.

Caedium Panel Flow

Simulate 3D airflow over racing cars or evaluate the aerodynamic performance of airplane wings and airfoils with respect to their lift and form drag forces using our Panel Flow add-on. This add-on uses a panel method that assumes idealized, inviscid flow to rapidly solve surface-based potential-flow equations. Panel methods are ideal for analyzing subsonic fluid flow (e.g., air, water) over streamlined shapes such as cars, airplanes and submarines.

Caedium Builder

Create your own geometry or modify existing designs using our 3D solid modeling, NURBS-based Builder add-on. Using advanced Boolean operations such as unite, subtract and intersect, rapid geometry construction is easy.

Caedium Transient

Simulate time-dependent flow with geometry motion using our Transient add-on. Then review your transient flow results in real-time using familiar multimedia-like controls.

Caedium Exchange

Import and export geometry in standard IGES (.igs), STEP (.stp) and faceted file formats using our Exchange add-on. Combine imported geometry with geometry created using our Builder add-on.

Caedium Viz Export

Create stunning photo-realistic images using lights and shadows for fun or marketing with our Viz Export add-on that exports POV-Ray (.pov) and Renderman (.rib) file formats. Also share 3D views in standard Alias/Wavefront (.obj) and VRML (.wrl) file formats with other visualization systems.

CO2 Jet Car Front View of Streamlines

CO2 Jet Car Front View of Streamlines

Airflow around the Basilisk Performance CO2 Jet Car entry for F1 in Schools. The simulation was performed in Caedium Professional and rendered by POV-Ray. The image shows streamlines colored by velocity magnitude, where blue is low and red is high.

January 2010

It seems like a short month, given the holiday season and my trip to Florida to present at the AIAA ASM conference. However, I did manage to jump back on the blog wagon with three posts this month. Read on for my trip report and my blog teasers.

December 2009

It's been a blockbuster month full of action here since the big release last month. The headline news is that we renamed SymLab to Caedium - if you want to find out why and catch up with other developments, then keep reading.

Cyclone Separator

Introduction

Cyclone separators are used in many industries to separate particles from a fluid, where the fluid is usually air or water. The types of particles vary widely, from wood chips to dust. You can find cyclones in a variety of places and industries.

Caedium RANS Flow Exports Results to EnSight, Fieldview, and Tecplot 360

Caedium RANS Flow can now export results in file formats supported by popular 3rd party visualization tools.

Caedium Replaces SymLab

We have renamed SymLab to Caedium after a request from the trademark holder of Symlabs. Functionally Caedium is identical to SymLab.

World's First: Caedium's CFD Simulations Tweet Telemetry

We are pleased to announce the release of Caedium (v2.0.1), which includes the world's first automated simulation telemetry system for posting images to TwitPic and posting associated messages (tweets) to Twitter. This new feature is useful if you want to check on the progress of a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation while you are away from your simulation's host machine and you have access to Twitter. It is also a great way to share CFD simulation progress with other colleagues on Twitter in real-time.

November 2009

Greetings from Symscape

The wait is finally over - we've released the new Caedium RANS Flow add-on along with the latest version of Caedium (v2.0) for Windows and Linux. In honor of the new release we thought it only fitting that we move up the posting of the November newsletter too - the fact is we couldn't keep quiet about it any longer! In support of the new Caedium RANS Flow add-on we've also added 3 new tutorials. Keen to know more? Keep reading.

Caedium RANS Flow Released

We are pleased to announce the new Caedium RANS Flow add-on for Windows and Linux as part of the latest release of Caedium (v2.0). Caedium is a unified simulation environment which can be extended using add-ons into a complete Computer-Aided Engineering system for fluid flow analysis.
