BURLINGTON, Massachusetts, December 5, 2006. SoftInWay Inc. a leading provider of the turbomachinery design software announces the release of AxSTREAM™ v.2.0 –Turbomachinery Flow Path Conceptual Design Suite – professional tool for rapid turbomachinery design and multidisciplinary optimization. AxSTREAM™ v.2.0 extends the scope of available turbomachinery types with the addition of Turbomachinery Flow Path Design for Radial Turbines & Centrifugal Compressors.
For some time our customers have been waiting for the possibility to design and optimize radial turbomachinery. In AxSTREAM v.2.0 this capability has become available. This allows users to work with radial machines: radial turbines and centrifugal compressors as well as with axial ones.
New features include:
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 and etc
AxSTREAM™ v.2.0 brings to the industry new advantages and possibilities to streamline the process of turbomachinery design and analysis, substantially decrease time required for project development and facilitate end-user operation thereby making design and optimization processes more robust, sophisticated, and convenient.
