AxSTREAM – Today's Design Technology for Rapid Turbomachinery Development

Flow path design has always been the cornerstone of the turbomachinery design process, be it for new concepts or retrofitting/upgrading the existing units. Each percentage improvement in capacity and/or efficiency means money for your customer and a competitive edge for your products and services.

The AxSTREAM suite of multidisciplinary design, analysis and optimization software provides an integrated and streamlined solution that encompasses the complete process of conceptual flow path design for both radial and axial turbomachinery (turbines, compressors, fans, blowers, turbopumps etc).

Starting from preliminary design (calculating basic cylinder performance from a few simple parameters), AxSTREAM proceeds through inverse and direct 1D analysis, 2D axisymmetric analysis, planes sections profiling, 3D profiling of the airfoils, finite element analysis, then to export of the results to 3D CFD programs. AxSTREAM is professional turbomachinery design software that reduces the engineering cycle from months to weeks and from weeks to days.

AxSTREAM is constructed on a modular foundation so it is ideally suited to be a complete stand-alone preliminary design tool or complement and enhance your current PD tools.
