AxSTREAM Training Workshop for Professional Designers
AxSTREAM offers a range of turbomachinery flow path design, analysis and optimization capabilities and a level of effectiveness that are unsurpassed in its price range. The best way to truly learn and understand these capabilities and how they can strengthen your company’s design efforts and enhance your current design tools in a cost effective way is to participate in a 3-day training workshop.
These workshops are taught by senior engineers that are specialists in all versions of AxSTREAM. While there is a general course outline that covers both axial and radial turbomachinery, each course is tailored to the desires and objectives of the specific attendees, and special topical breakout sessions are often scheduled.

Online Training Courses
The online training is based on the same educational material as the classroom-based courses and allows
engineers to study design and optimization of turbines / compressors in real time, without leaving their
offices. The program includes 8 hours of lectures (theoretical overview, engineering practice and reviews
of home tasks) and 8 hours of consultation (Q&A sessions with SoftInWay’s instructors).
Currently available courses: Axial Turbine, Axial Compressor, Centrifugal Compressor
and Radial Turbine.

Free 1-hour Webinar
SoftInWay regularly provides free webinars on design/redesign, analysis,
optimization and retrofit of axial/radial turbomachinery flow path.
The interactive online course is dedicated to engineers working in the process,
power station and airline industries. The program includes a 40-minute presentation
followed by an open forum where SoftInWay discusses the most critical issues and
answers the attendees’ questions, if any.

AxSTREAM Educational Version for Colleges and Universities
The educational version of AxSTREAM, available for both axial and
radial turbomachinery, provides students and faculty with state-of-the
art turbomachinery design and multidisciplinary optimization software
at minimal expense.
These programs constitute a “learn as you go” course that aids students
in understanding the overall design and performance principles of
turbo-machinery through the same fully interactive AxSTREAM™ commercial
program used by industrial turbo-machinery manufacturers. The educational
version is configured to be easily integrated into the teaching process
and course curricula.
Gaining real-world marketable skills in turbomachinery design and multidisciplinary
optimization, the student (individually or in study teams) will be able to:
- Design a flow path based on given overall application requirements;
- Appreciate the interactions between aerodynamic performance and mechanical integrity;
- Perform design optimization encompassing 1D and 2D direct problem computation;
- Generate cascade profiles that easily relate to aerodynamic theory;
- Perform fully 3 dimensional blade design
