ANSYS BladeModeler software is a specialized, easy-to-use tool for the rapid 3-D design of rotating machinery components. The software incorporates the extensive turbomachinery expertise from ANSYS into a user-friendly graphical environment. ANSYS BladeModeler is used to design axial, mixed-flow, and radial blade components in applications such as pumps, compressors, fans, blowers, turbines, expanders, turbochargers, inducers and more.

ANSYS BladeModeler can take existing blade geometry designs created in other tools and prepare the design data for rapid and detailed simulation and analysis. Alternatively, the meanline sizing tools from PCA Engineers that are provided with ANSYS BladeModeler can be used to supply initial blade geometry designs for subsequent analysis and optimization. In either case, an initial blade geometry design can be further modified and extended using the rich set of tools and functionality for designing rotating machinery blades within the ANSYS BladeModeler product. All this is accomplished in a user environment tailored to rotating machinery, with an intuitive interface and using industry-specific language that blade designers expect. The software contains modes of operation tailored to both radial and axial machinery design processes.

ANSYS Mechanical software offers a comprehensive product solution for structural linear or nonlinear and dynamics analysis. The product provides a complete set of elements behavior, material models and equation solvers for a wide range of engineering problems. In addition, ANSYS Mechanical offers thermal analysis and coupled-physics capabilities involving acoustic, piezoelectric, thermal–structural and thermoelectric analysis.

ANSYS Vista TF technology is designed to broaden the range of turbomachinery geometry design and analysis tools from ANSYS.

Developed by PCA Engineers Limited, an international consultancy specializing in turbomachinery design software for many of the world's leading turbo manufacturers, ANSYS Vista TF is integrated into the ANSYS Workbench platform for powerful and quick turbomachinery design and analysis.

As a 2-D throughflow solver, the technology provides rapid initial analysis of rotating machinery before proceeding to more rigorous and detailed 3-D fluid flow simulations. Performing initial design iterations using the ANSYS Vista TF 2-D throughflow solver can reduce the total time devoted to product design and development, maximizing the efficiency of engineering simulation.

As a strong complement to powerful high-fidelity ANSYS CFD software, ANSYS Vista TF provides rapid preliminary optimization of turbomachinery designs on the basis of throughflow analysis.

ANSYS Vista TF fills the space between 1-D correlations and 3-D CFD.
