AGILE™ Software

CTAADS™

A fully integrated suite of independent software modules that support the rapid generation of airfoil cooling-passage geometry and perform a complete 3D thermal analysis

The Cooled Turbine Airfoil AGILE™ Design System (CTAADS) is a systematic, logical, and rapid 3D modeling approach to cooling-system design for cooled axial turbine vanes and blades. The system includes many special features that can significantly reduce the total time and cost for designing cooled turbine airfoils.

Completely integrated suite of independent software modules
Efficient data transfer and sharing
Full feature graphical user interface
Complete 3D thermal analysis including film holes, impingement holes, trailing edge exit slots, pedestals, and thermal barrier coating
3D airfoil model represented with geometric finite elements
Fast finite difference thermal solver by Harvard Thermal Inc.
Directly export results to structural analysis codes (ANSYS®, NASTRAN)
Optional user-defined pressure loss and heat transfer correlations (for internal cooling airflow model)
Optional user-defined film effectiveness curves
