Axis: CFturbo

CFturbo is the software of conceptual interactive design of turbomachines.

The automated processes

• Conceptual design of turbomachines from scratch
• Upgrade and optimization of the existing models of turbomachines. Reversinzhiniring.
• Creation of the knowledge base of calculations for collective use
• Three-dimensional hydrogasdynamic (CFD) calculation and calculation on durability

Advantages

• Reduction of design time

• Cost reduction

• Product quality improvement

Clear and friendly interface, step-by-step method of a task of initial data

• The convenient interface in use with charts of general functions
• Shift of points of Bezier using a mouse or input of exact coordinates (generally relative coordinates for automatic update)
• Measurement of distances, printing

Integration with CAD/CAE packets

• Export of CAD models
• CFturbo contains a special plug-in for transfer of geometrical model and data of a grid in CAE ANSYS ICEM-CFD packet
• Dynamic three-dimensional visualization (rotation, movement, reduction/increase)
• Partial display of subjects to modeling
• Import of already created models for comparison

Combination of theoretical and empirical knowledge of turbomachines

• Access to the integrated base of theoretical information materials by calculation of turbomachines
• Comprehensive and detailed user guide
• Use of approximating functions on the basis of the leading works on turbomashinostroitelny subject
• Graphical representation of the used functions

An opportunity to customize functions of calculation according to requirements of the customer

• Broad spectrum of specialized modules for calculation of elements of turbomachines (stators, rotors, snails, etc.)
• Setup of units of measure and flowers which will be used in the program by default
• The choice of units of measure when exporting
• Possibility of the choice of set of components for export
• Online help

Project management

• Possibility of creation and comparison of a set of options of construction
• Report on the project with a possibility of recovery of former option
• Display of warnings and hints about specific specific parameters
• Display of key parts of the project

Functions reverse engineering

• Optimization of the existing construction
• Import of the existing meridian circuits and prebrazovaniye to Bezier curves
• Designing of blades on a sonova of slope angles of blades or inportirovanny information
• input or import of the blades given about a profile
• comparison of the imported geometrical IGES/STEP models with the upgraded 3D model

CFTurbo works in Windows Vista7//8 (.NET 4.0)

Integration into the third-party software

Except neutral formats: IGES, STEP,DXF and the text ASCII format the broad range of direct interfaces is available to the majority of CAD - and CAE/CFD systems:

• AutoCAD Catia V5 Inventor Solidworks CAD , , , OneSpace Designer, PRO/Engineer Wildfire, , Unigraphics NX, CAE ANSYS Blade Modeler, ANSYS Gambit/Fluent, ANSYS ICEM CFD, ANSYS TurboGrid, NUMECA Autogrid, NUMECA FINE/Turbo, Pointwise, Gridgen.

The data set can be exported in the form of points, curves and surfaces.
