TURBOdesign Suite 2022R1

Video now available on-demand.

In this webinar, we will review the major new features and enhancements in TURBOdesign Suite 2022R1 release.

A major theme of 2022R1 release is Automation. We have taken important steps by integrating TURBOdesign Optima inside TURBOdesign1 which enables direct selection of designs in TURBOdesign1’s Project window for automatic optimization and the results are then brought back to Project window for comparison with manual designs. This coupled with the unique (machine learning driven) automatic range set up system for design parameters streamlines further unique capabilities for 3D inverse design method for turbomachinery design automation. 

We will also showcase the new scripting functionality of TURBOdesign Volute which can be used for parametric studies or design optimization. The new functionality uses an XML file to control the volute geometry which is exported automatically as a wateright IGES file with labelled surfaces such as inflow, outflow and wall for direct communication with CFD meshing. This functionality is further enhanced by integrating TURBOdesign Volute inside Ansys Workbench, which enables automatic optimization of whole stages or multi-stages.

We also introduce a new Traffic Light System with colour coded feedback on designs based on important criteria for each machine type. Also, we have made extensive enhancements to scripting functionality in TURBOdesign1 providing further flexibility in using TURBOdesign1 with any inhouse commercial optimization tools with the functionality to use any externally produced thickness, meridional shape or stacking files.

Who is it for?

The event addresses all engineers, developers or researchers dealing with turbomachinery design.
