Constantly developing cutting edge technology and driving further the state of the art in Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) and simulation-driven design, FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS regularly takes up an active role in research and development projects. R&D poses a strong and ambitious part of the company's operations.

ReFIT

Refitting ships For Improved energy Transport efficiency (ReFIT / ReFIT-CAE). The project aims at utilizing simulation-driven design for the refitting of ships in operation so as to improve their energy efficiency. More.

FORM-PRO

Ongoing EU-funded development scheme: The program focuses on simulation methods for the hydrodynamic form optimization of ships under propulsion. It combines, for the first time, parametric form description and adjoint RANS technology. More.

VIRTUE

Project on VIRtual Tank Utility in Europe. Launched and cofinanced by the European Union. Project state: finalized. More.

ParaAxial

Parametrische Entwurfstechniken für Axialmaschinen (Parametric design methods for axial machinery). Launched and cofinanced by the European Union. Project state: finalized. More.

Beyond this, FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS gets involved in R&D projects for and too involving partners, for instance OptiHULL and OptiSWATH.
