Agile Engineering Design System®
The Agile Engineering Design System®, the world’s best design software specialized for turbomachinery, is continuously refined through a rigorous development process. The process incorporates the most recent test data and the latest theoretical advances to aid in the design, analysis, and manufacturing of pumps, compressors, turbines, turbochargers, blowers, and fans.
These sophisticated software tools empower designers and product development teams worldwide and enable innovative solutions by applying a cost-effective concurrent development approach that balances issues of performance, reliability, operating life, and low-cost manufacturability.
Preliminary Design
Our preliminary design suite uses a meanline approach to rapidly size and analyze single or multistage machines. Each specialized module features a design wizard that leads users through the process. Our preliminary design software modules for turbomachinery design are:
Detailed Design
Our detailed design software modules provide well-defined 3D geometry for rotating and stationary blade rows and associated flow paths and structures. We offer the following detailed design modules for turbomachinery:
- AxCent® – Detailed 3D geometric design and rapid 2D flow analysis of single and multistage axial and radial turbomachinery FINE/pbCFD™ and FINE™/Turbo – Specialized 3D flow analysis that provides advanced CFD through our partnership with NUMECA International.
- PbPost™ – Pushbutton post-processing module that enables FINE™/Turbo to be launched from within the AxCent® environment. It can also import the FINE/Turbo CFD results back into the AxCent viewing environment.
- Pushbutton FEA™ – Specialized 3D FEA analysis with highly automated preprocessing and postprocessing functions.
Specialized Design
- CTAADS™ – Cooled Turbine Airfoil Agile Design System for advanced 3D modeling of cooling systems for axial turbine vanes and blades
- TurboOPT II™ – Holistic optimizer and stress analysis
- Dyrobes™ – Modeling dynamics of rotor bearing systems
- GasTurb™ – Simulated gas turbine performance
