The BladeGen system launches Ansys BladeGen, a component of Ansys BladeModeler. The BladeModeler software is a specialized, easy-to-use tool for the rapid 3D design of rotating machinery components.
With BladeGen, you can re-design existing blades to achieve new design goals or create completely new blade design. BladeGen imports blade geometry interactively or through files you supply. BladeGen allows sculpted or ruled element blades with linear or compound lean leading or trailing edges. Over/Under-Filing can be applied, and leading and trailing edge shapes are easily specified as a full radius, an ellipse ratio, or a simple cutoff.
For more information on Ansys BladeGen, see BladeGen User’s Guide.
