From: SoftInWay Inc.

• OVER 8,000 SUBSCRIBERS WORLDWIDE •
The most prospective release

As it was already marked in our permanent press releases, beginning from AxSTREAM v.2.0 besides axial turbomachines it can provide design and optimization of radial ones. I.e. AxSTREAM can be used to design axial / centrifugal compressor, axial / radial turbine and multi-stage gas turbine flow path from scratch for today.

Between AxSTREAM’s inherent features there are new ones such as:

  • Mixed/Radial/Axial flow path design “from scratch” and multidisciplinary optimization using a handful of basic parameters and a set of geometric constraints
  • Mixed/Radial/Axial flow path Meanline analysis and optimization with support of “as-designed” and off-design operational conditions
  • Throughflow analysis
  • Camberline/Thickness interactive profiling and airfoil design
  • Push-Button FEA
  • Integrated optimizer based on design-of-experiment (DoE) methodology
  • Performance maps generation
  • Capability to export 3D airfoil geometry in formats acceptable for Numeca, ANSYS CFX, etc. and in IGES format for NX, SolidWorks, Pro-E, ANSYS etc.

    Meet us at
    Barcelona International Convention Center (CCIB)

SoftInWay on Daratech Summit 2006

Recently Daratech, Inc. has selected SoftInWay as an Emerging Technologies Partner to participate in Daratech Summit 2006 had been held February 20-22 at the Charles Hotel, Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Each year, research firm Daratech brings together customers and suppliers in the mechanical CAD/CAE/PLM space at DaratechSUMMIT and presents its official state of the industry address. This time, the Emerging Technologies Pavilion has gathered new technologies selected from already established and promising companies worldwide. SoftInWay's AxSTREAM™ and AxPLAN™ packages has attracted attention of many visitors searching for the integrated, robust and cost-effective solutions for turbomachinery design.

 

Many of attendants, amongst them Air Internat Inc., Nissan Motor Co., Ltd, DIPRO, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics, Honda R&D Company and others, have agreed in opinion that in comparison with heavyweghting solvers on the market, AxSTREAM enables designers to very rapidly perform multivariate calculations in a corporate format obtaining quality results and compressing time to market. .

 

'Beyond powerful capabilities in design, analysis and optimization, our products has demonstrated the competitive PLM solutions embedded in the process accompanied by unprecedent 'what if' variations. Doing through capturing and leveraging existing company know-how, we remain committed to helping turbomachinery designers produce winning flowpath designs quickly," said Leonid Moroz, SoftInway's President and CEO.

AxSTREAM in Progress

AxSTREAM v1.7.06 Will Be Available Soon!

SoftInWay, Inc. announces prerelease of a new version 1.7.06 of AxSTREAM™ - a professional tool for rapid turbomachinery flow path design and multidisplinary optimization that encompasses the complete engineering process of turbomachinery flow path conceptual design and multidisplinary optimization. The prerelease will be first presented at the ASME 51st Annual Technical Congress & Exposition, Barselona, Spain, May 8-11, 2006.

As always, this release will inherit all advantages of the preceded version appending some new features to amend and enrich the software capabilities in turbomachinery design and optimization.

New version will provide the following additional benefits to the turbomachinery designers that make the design and optimization process more sophisticated and convenient:

  • Network sessions protection is reinforced;
  • Turbine preliminary design procedure is updated towards expansion of functionality;
  • Cascade visualization capabilities are extended;
  • ATLAS profile database is replenished with new types of profiles;
  • Profile and stage view frames are added with new features;
  • Profiling procedure is updated in the part related to:
    - profiling mode handling;

    - profile geometry handling when working with ATLAS database;
    -
    profile optimization options;
    - profile visualization options;
  • 3D airfoil design procedure is replenished with new functions:
    - airfoil total volume calculation;

    - airfoil shape selection concurrently with a number of stations variation;
  • New features are added to the flowpath geometry calculation;
  • The problems related to RPC on the platform are solved.

All novelties shrink performance time per project and simplify end-user operation.

Unique capabilities integrated in one package that includes the corporate design components (turbine, compressor, stage, airfoil) presented as libraries and special physical models is a choice as for standalone exploration as for integration in any proprietary technologies within a company's organizations.

In comparison with many other design codes & systems on the market, AxSTREAM features ultimate concentration of turbomachinery design procedures, providing fast and reliable solutions.
