Turbomachinery Design with AxSTREAM

AxSTREAM Interactive Workshop on Turbomachinery Flow Path Design and Optimization.

 
Description:
The AxSTREAM Workshop provides the 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 (click the link for detailed course outline):
