Product Description TURBOdesign Suite
The underlying 3D inverse design process allows to parametrize the geometry using only a couple of inputs. Also multi-objective optimizations can be realized, taking into account many operating points or several physical disciplines with moderate effort.
TURBOdesign Pre
Fast Meanline Design and Analysis
Enables sizing and preliminary design of turbomachinery components in a matter of seconds. Starting from basic design specifications such as flow rate, rpm and pressure ratio/head rise, meridional shapes of the different components like impeller, multi-stage machines, volutes are generated


TURBOdesign1 | TURBOdesign Optima
Innovative Blade Design and Optimization
An innovative 3D inverse method for aerodynamic and hydrodynamic turbomachinery design computes complete blade geometry based on blade loading, thus directly including the physics of flow. The integrated optimization tool allows to efficiently explore multi-factorial design spaces, enabling designs with significant performance not only in one single duty point but across the entire operating range.


TURBOdesign Link WB | CAD/3DLab
CAE Integration and Streamlined workflows
TURBOdesign Suite’s compatibility with Ansys Workbench makes it an ideal addition to the development process, enabling even extremely complex investigations like FSI or multi-objective optimization.


TURBOdesign Volute
Complex Geometry Design
Generate volutes of pumps, fans and compressors, with the help of TD Volute. You can choose between different standard and arbitrary cross-section shapes and will be able to design a component behaving efficiently in duty point and off-design conditions.


Practical Application Examples
Numerical simulation can contribute significantly to efficient pump design. The advantages are obvious: high efficiency or NPSH (net positive suction head), less physical prototypes, shorter development cycles as well as higher reliability. Both articles give insight into theory and practical application of modern pump design.
