New CFturbo 9.0 features General 1. Design of complete machines/ stages consisting of several coupled components 2. Revised graphical user interface of main window 3. New module "Stator" for design of vaned and unvaned stators (radial diffusers, bowl diffusers, free-form) 4. XML file format 5. Viewer mode if no license available Impeller 1. Mean lines: design alternatively by direct manipulation of Beta progression 2. Display of all progressions alternatively over meridional (m), radial (r) or axial coordinate (z), using absolute or relative values in each case 3. Meridian: coupling of Bezier points can be switched off optionally 4. Meridian: limit stop for Bezier point positions can be switched off optionally 5. Meridian: easy axial positioning of complete geometry Volute 1. Separate cut-water dialog 2. Asymmetric cross section optionally to other side CFturbo is a powerful software for interactive design of turbomachinery. CFturbo is easy to use and enables the designer to either start from scratch or redesign existing geometries (Reverse Engineering). CFturbo guides the user through the required steps of design process. A primary design is generated automatically, which can be influenced in each detail by the user. CFturbo includes several interfaces to established CAD- and CFD-packages. CFturbo can optionally be extended by special functions according to the customer's requirements. CFturbo contains a script solution for generating meshes for the designed geometry in ANSYS ICEM-CFD CFturbo software runs on Windows XP/Vista/7 (.NET 3.5).
