High-fidelity geometry, together with low-fidelity geometry, may be obtained by:
Importing CAD
Outside of the unstructured mesh blocks surrounding high-fidelity geometric features, the low-fidelity geometry and high-fidelity geometry must be the same to avoid kinks or jumps at the interfaces between structured and unstructured mesh blocks.
Note that BladeEditor can serve as a source of CAD geometry for import into TurboGrid. In particular, BladeEditor blades can be sent to TurboGrid as CAD data by making a cell connection in Workbench from the Geometry cell (that represents BladeEditor) to the Turbo Mesh cell (that represents TurboGrid).
Generating CAD by Importing an NDF File
You can import an NDF file, causing a CAD definition to be generated then loaded. The selected blade row is loaded at the end of the import process; any other blade rows in the CAD definition remain available to be loaded. For details, see Defining Geometry from Generated CAD: CAD From NDF.
Generating CAD from Profile Points and Optional Blade CAD Feature Specifications
You can generate CAD based on profile points. For details, see Defining Geometry from Generated CAD: CAD From Profile Points.
CAD generated based on profile points may contain blade CAD feature specifications such as blade blends and partial tips. For details, see Blade CAD Features.
