1. Add "tear drop" volute cross-section parameterization (for use in additive designs)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Allow AxCent to directly import parameterized AutoBlade geometries
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Create a layout tool that would include full rotating assembly including bearings and seals (Note: multi-year project)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Add parameterization for continuous cross-over pipe diffusers
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Add hub-to-shroud variable ("wedge angle") control for inducer sheared leading edges for use in blending that shear into the desired thickness distribution
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
6. Add the ability to allow the user to select sign convention for blade angles (e.g. always positive)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
7. Allow for specifying the blade angle on the shroud at the exact point where the swept leading edge intersects the shroud
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
8. Add parametric design of non-axisymmetric compressor inlet, or inlet plenum geometry, including non-axisymmetric IGVs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
9. Add .txt file format export and import for camber chord and section parameters
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
10. Add ability to design blade sections independent of spanwise position (i.e. at constant radius)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
11. Allow segment "swapping" between 2 *.des file (i.e. ability to swap a design in or out of a full stage design)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
12. Allow multiple labyrinth seals in a single secondary flow path
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
13. Allow independent splitter blade streamwise definition such that the trailing edge may be located inboard of the rotor OD
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
14. Create ability to define partial admission (including for drilled nozzles)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
15. Add ability to have continuous blade from inducer through radial portion of a turbo pump
|
