Don’t worry, we won’t bother you with too many emails. If you are interested in CAESES ® and in CFD-driven design optimization, then sign up for our newsletter. Interested in what else you can do with CAESES ®? Then check out the product pages or drop us a line if you have questions. The use of features where the entire command set of CAESES ® is available gives you a powerful environment for custom tasks. Friedrich Fröhlig, Turbocharging and Fluid Systems, MTU Friedrichshafen (Rolls-Royce Power-Systems)Ĭheck out the quick guide about geometry scripting. “This amazing CAESES ® setup saves us a tremendous amount of time, as well as tedious manual work! Thanks a lot to the guys of FRIENDSHIP SYSTEMS.”
For us, this was a very interesting and untypical CAESES ® task – thanks to MTU for allowing us to publish this work. Finally, we implemented additional controls that are not covered in the ASCII file, such as the bottom plate thickness and shape, as well as the shaft diameter. They simply choose a vda-file, click the “import” button and wait for a couple of seconds. The final solid body for the structural analysis, including coloring for automatic patch identificationįor the MTU engineers, this is now a single-click solution which saves them quite a lot of time. The following screenshot shows a typical vda-file, which was our starting point: The goal was to take this ASCII file and offer a fast and robust one-click solution in CAESES ® to generate a solid body from this point data. However, this step-by-step approach took them roughly 30 minutes for each design. The status quo had been that they already tried to semi-automate this process in a traditional CAD software. What they needed now was a very quick, single-click solution to create a solid body from this ASCII file, in order to conduct structural analysis for the impeller. In NUMECA Autoblade, such a model can then be exported using an ASCII format (*.vda), which basically contains point data for the meridional hub and shroud contours and the blade geometry. Some of their impeller designs were created by applying NUMECA software.
They design large turbochargers for diesel engines, and they use CAESES ® for the design of volutes and other engine components. Some time ago, our customer MTU Friedrichshafen (the core entity of Rolls-Royce Power-Systems) approached us with a very interesting request.
