SimScale and CFturbo have partnered to extend their capabilities in the turbomachinery sector by combining intuitive design with cloud-native simulation in a unified workflow.

Within CFturbo, users can choose a specific turbomachinery template to develop the hydraulic designs of products such as turbines, pumps, compressors, and fans. Without leaving the CFturbo interface, these designs can be directly pushed for simulation in the cloud with SimScale through a custom API that automatically creates a simulation project. The push-button design and simulation workflow enables turbomachinery designers to quickly evaluate the hydraulic performance of their designs from within the CAD environment and also conduct hundreds of parametric studies simultaneously by using the power of cloud simulation.

Watch this webinar where experts from SimScale and CFturbo walk you through the automated design-simulation workflow. You will learn how to:

  • Reverse engineer a centrifugal radial pump CAD into a parametric CFturbo model ready for simulation
  • Set up the mesh and simulation parameters for this baseline geometry for simulation in SimScale
  • Launch SimScale simulation from CFturbo through API key-based access
  • Visualize flowfield results and performance curves at different flow rates for the baseline geometry
  • Vary baseline geometry in CFturbo and launch a Design-of-Experiments in SimScale for design comparison
