The integrated solution should:
- Involve a set of design modules needed for procedures in 1D and 2D formulations
with the output of 3D geometric models, which

are ready for final refinement by means of 3D aerodynamic and stress calculations
- Make it possible to automate multivariate and optimization calculations
- Ensure an interactive design scenario with the opportunity to return

stages, versions support, and project integrity
- Give the user convenient mecha-nisms for data input, modification, output and export into other software systems
- Ensure expansibility, scalability, and maintainability
These requirements guarantee that the conceptual design approach described here can be successfully implemented.
Robust and efficient aerodynamic and structural solvers are key features of modern
flowpath design. These solvers work together in a single workflow environment, allowing
the designers to carry out the complete turbomachinery design, from concept
to final product quickly and more efficiently than in the past.
