The Vista CCD and Vista CCD with CCM systems launch Vista Centrifugal Compressor Design, an application used for the preliminary design of centrifugal compressors. It can be used in an iterative fashion to create a 1D design. The resulting geometry can be passed to BladeGen or BladeEditor. Vista CCD can be used to model an existing compressor and, if known, its measured performance at single operating points. An accurate 1D model can provide insight into the performance of the machine that goes beyond the test measurements.
For more information, see Vista CCD help.
To work through a Vista CCD system:
To add a Vista CCD or Vista CCD with CCM component system, drag the system from the Toolbox to the Project Schematic or double-click the system in the Toolbox.
To specify the solution parameters, generate a solution, and view the results, double-click the Blade Design cell.
For Vista CCD with CCM systems, to predict the overall performance of the design compressor state, double-click the Performance Map cell.
