The objective of this training is to provide participants with a practical understanding of design and optimization of flow paths for turbomachinery equipment using AxSTREAM.
During this interactive, hands-on workshop the engineers will use the AxSTREAM
|
software
to successfully perform
preliminary design of turbomachinery flow paths, inverse and direct 1D/2D analysis and optimization,
3D profiling/stacking of the airfoils, 3D FEA and CFD, and export of results to 3D CAD programs.
The training
includes break-out sessions, one-on-one design consultation with SoftInWay experts and review
of actual test cases. Each attendee can choose a particular track of study based on his/her specific interests:
- Axial and radial turbomachinery (comprehensive overview)
- Axial turbine
- Axial compressor
- Centrifugal compressor
- Radial turbine
- Retrofitting and performance upgrades
|
|
The course program can be customized according to the participants’ needs.
For each training workshop SoftInWay invites guest speakers – world-recognized authorities in the field of turbomachinery – to enable the attendees to access the latest in engineering technology.
On completion of the course the participants will be able to design and optimize a complete flow path from basic boundary condition data.
The scope includes:
- Theory of turbomachinery design from conceptual to reality, and the role of AxSTREAM in the design process.
- Features and major design parameters of axial and radial turbomachinery.
- How to use AxSTREAM to design an optimized flow path from preliminary design to generation of 3D blade profiles, for both original design and redesign of existing equipment.
- The effective use of multidisciplinary analysis.
- Participants will create original flow path designs for axial compressor, axial turbine, centrifugal compressor and radial turbine.

“The course provided by SoftInWay Inc, fulfilled and in addition surpassed our requirements/expectations.
After a thorough update on the theoretical part, the inhouse program of SoftInWay Inc AxSTREAM was
interactively demonstrated by practical test cases, which were accompanied by extensive course material &
illustrations. This is an intensive course which I can recommend to anyone in need of theoretical &
practical knowledge on turbines.”
