ANSYS BladeModeler Brochure
A Geometry Design Tool for Rotating Machinery
BladeModeler is a specialized, easy-to-use software tool for the rapid 3-D design of rotating machinery components. Incorporating ANSYS, Inc.'s extensive turbomachinery expertise into a user-friendly graphical environment, the software can design axial, mixed-flow and radial blade components in applications such as pumps, compressors, fans, blowers, turbines, expanders, turbochargers, inducers and others.
An Integrated Blade Design System BladeModeler provides the essential link between blade design and advanced simulation including CFD, stress and modal analyses. BladeModeler contains a rich set of tools and functions for designing a turbomachinery blade from scratch, using industry-specific tools, workflow, and language that the blade designer expects.

If you already design the basic blade geometry using your own tools, BladeModeler can import your design data and prepare it for rapid or detailed design simulation and analysis, as well as further modifications. Once a basic blade design exists within BladeModeler, a true 3-D CAD solid model can be created including the hub metal, blade fillets, cutoffs and trims. Additional 3-D CAD components can also be combined with the blade solid model, such as the blade root or complex 3-D tip regions. |
