You have been invited to ADT's Webinar on TURBOdesign Suite 2021R2 Release on October, 14th. In this webinar, we reviewed the major new features and enhancements in 2021R2 release.
A major theme of 2021R1 release was the release of the new robust solver for TURBOdesign1. Initially, this was released only for full bladed configuration in ideal gas. But in this release, the robust solver is extended to splitters and real gas applications. Other important improvement in TURBOdesign1 relates to further extension of the reverse engineering function by directly enabling reading of the xyz profile geometry or turbogrid files for full blades or splitter configuration. The post-processing is also now further enhanced by allowing the functionality to export any plot data as *.csv file.
Significant work has been done to improve the loss predictions models in TURBOdesign Pre for centrifugal pumps, including improvements to the leakage loss models. Also, TURBOdesign Pre module for compressor now provides map of power versus flow rate.
TURBOdesign Volute has undergone major enhancements in solver and CAD export functionality. The solver will now handle real gas look up tables using RGP file as used by TURBOdesign Pre, TURBOdesign1 and ANSYS CFX.
The new functionalities and enhancements are demonstrated with different application during the webinar. Furthermore, we will preview the new expert system functionality being planned for TURBOdesign Optima that will automatically set the range of design parameters for optimization in such a way that very high accuracy surrogate models can be obtained without large data sets.
