Vista RTD

The Vista RTD system launches Vista Radial Turbine Design, an application used for the preliminary design of radial inflow turbines. It can be used in an iterative fashion to create a 1D design. The resulting geometry can be passed to BladeGen, BladeEditor, and Vista TF. Vista RTD can also be used to model an existing turbine. An accurate 1D model can provide insight into the performance of the machine that goes beyond the test measurements.

For more information, see Vista RTD help.

To work through a Vista RTD system:

  1. To add a Vista RTD component system, drag the system from the Toolbox to the Project Schematic or double-click the system in the Toolbox.

  2. To specify the solution parameters, generate a solution, and view the results, double-click the Blade Design cell.
