Discover how coupling TURBOdesign1 with ANSYS workbench can rapidly and automatically design turbocharger impellers to meet contrasting requirements of efficiency, range, inertia, stress and vibration.

Considerable numbers of engineers are under pressure to quickly produce and deliver high quality performance turbomachinery. Having the correct tools for each project is paramount to achieve an accurate design.

ADT Releases TURBOdesign Suite 6.1

Latest version of Leading Design for Turbomachinery Suite drastically reduces turbomachinery optimization computational requirements, lower production costs. 

LONDON, UK and CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, USA - January 12 2016 - Advanced Design Technology (ADT), a global leader in the development of advanced turbomachinery design methods and the TURBOdesign Suite has recently announced the appointment of Gary Panes as Commercial Director. Gary will report directly to Mehrdad Zangeneh, Founder and Managing Director of ADT.

TURBOdesign Suite has been used by many companies to increase the efficiency, pressure rise, and flow characteristics of their axial fans. In this free 1 hour webinar we will demonstrate the simple design processes which allow very high fan performance to be obtained with TURBOdesign Suite reliably, quickly and easily.

Abstract:

Latest version of Leading Design Suite for Turbomachinery offers significant new functionality and modules to enable a faster, more effective design process for all engineers, especially for Multi-objective/Multi-disciplinary optimization.

This webinar will introduce TurboDesign Shaper, a new software product of Advanced Design Technology that targets to ease the design of arbitrarily complex geometrical shapes. It is a unique solution for sensitivity analysis and optimization with computational cost independent of the complexity.

Abstract:

TURBOdesign Suite is a unique aerodynamic and hydrodynamic 3D design software package that allows users to design, analyze and optimize all types of turbomachinery, such as axial, mixed-flow, or centrifugal pumps, compressors, fans, turbines and torque converters.

LONDON, UK and NEW YORK, NY, USA – 17 March , 2015 – Advanced Design Technology (ADT), a global leader in the development of advanced turbomachinery design methods and the TURBOdesign Suite is delighted to announce attendance and sponsorship of FAN 2015 in Lyon, France on 15-17 April 2015.

In this 1 hour webinar we will show how the new features and enhancements in TURBOdesign Suite 5.2.5 enable turbomachinery engineers to produce breakthrough high-efficiency designs faster than ever before. Two example cases will cover application of the new features to the full design process from preliminary sizing to automatic optimization.

Latest version of Leading Design for Turbomachinery Suite drastically reduces turbomachinery optimization computational requirements, lower production costs.

Following on the previous two webinars on compressor and turbine design for high performance turbochargers, this third and final webinar will highlight the contrasting requirements of high efficiency, high reliability and low manufacturing costs faced by turbocharger manufacturers.

In this session we will highlight how to couple 3D inverse design tools with automatic optimization in order to:

The turbocharger efficiency has a direct effect on the fuel efficiency of the engine. However in many turbocharger turbine applications it is becoming increasingly difficult to improve the turbine efficiency with conventional design methods.

Webinar 1 - Design of high efficiency Turbocharger/e-charger compressors by 3D Inverse design method

In this one hour free webinar we will use two specific examples to show how and why the 3D inverse design method can result in breakthrough designs that improve the turbocharger efficiency and yet meet the requirements for good stress and vibration and wide operating range. The two cases will be:
