3D CAD model

• Dynamic 3D-representation (rotate, move, zoom)
• Highly configurable partial views
• Export of CAD model
• Import of existing geometry for comparison

Reverse Engineering

• Redesign of existing geometry as starting point for optimization
• Import of existing meridional curves with automated conversion to Bezier splines
• Blade design based on given blade angles on leading and trailing edge or imported Beta distribution
• Input or import of blade thickness distribution (blade profiles)
• Comparison of imported IGES/ STEP data with the redesigned 3D model

   Instruction of reverse design (1.3 MB)

Meridian

• Meridional preview of project components
• Quick access to design steps
• Handling interfaces between components
• Select active component
• Show progressions for area, velocity, flow angle

Project management

• Management of project information
• Design report with the option of restoring previous design status
• Display of warnings regarding specific parameters
• Display of key design details

Graphical dialogues

• User-friendly display in diagrams with versatile functions
• Shifting of Bezier dots per mouse or entering the exact coordinates (mostly relative coordinates due to automatic updating)
• Magnifications, measuring of distances, printouts

Approximation functions

• Use of numerous approximation functions based on published turbomachinery measurements
• Graphical representation of internally used functions
• Option of customised adaptation according to own know-how

Comparison of various designs

• Simultaneous display of various designs for comparison and targeted modification
• Reference geometries are displayed in dialogues with the selected colour and line thickness
• Numeric values are displayed in an indication window above the corresponding entry fields

Options

• Setting of units to be used in the program
• Geometrical data units for export
• Separate definition of the number of data points to be created per geometry component for export
• Online help language
