New Software Modules for Turbomachinery Design Released
Concepts NREC, the world’s leading independent turbomachinery design software company, announces the release of three new software modules for turbomachinery design: CAD Translator, EASy! Control with Data Reduction, and the Cooled Turbine Airfoil Agile Design System (CTAADS).
CAD Translator™
The CAD Translator greatly simplifies the transfer of 3D CAD geometry
between all major CAD systems and Concepts NREC’s Agile Engineering
Design System® for turbomachinery as well as Concepts NREC’s world
leading turbomachinery CAM software. A turbo- machine CAD model
will typically contain the blading and flow path needed by the
Agile system, but can also contain the housing, shaft, bearings,
seals, and other associated parts and assemblies. CAD translator
allows the user to identify the components of the CAD model that
are associated with the blading and flow path and seamlessly convert
these geometric entities into the format needed for easy import
into the Concepts NREC design and manufacturing software.
The CAD translator is built using the world’s leading CAD components,
Parasolid from EDS and HOOPS from Techsoft America.
EASy! Control™
EASy! Control automates the process of knowledge-based engineering
(KBE) in the turbomachinery design process. Most companies that
design turbomachines have huge databases of past designs that
they need to call upon when doing a new design. EASy! Control
allows the management of the database for access to historical
designs. EASy! Control comes with a database of 93 designs that
Concepts NREC has produced during its nearly 50 year history,
and the new data reduction capability allows customers a simplified
way to process a design and its associated performance data and
add it to the database.
Cooled Turbine Airfoil
Agile Design System™ (CTAADS)
CTAADS is a complete system for the design and analysis of internally-cooled
turbine blades. CTAADS allows an engineer to take an external
airfoil section, and a core flow field, and design a full 3D solid
model of the airfoil internal cooling passages and perform a thermal
analysis. CTAADS has built-in correlations for the heat transfer
of many standard cooling geometries and also allows users to add
their own proprietary correlations and models. CTAADS was developed
in partnership with Harvard Thermal Inc. and is also based on
the industry standard Parasolid CAD technology.
