Turbomachinery engineering company releases a new version of its user-friendly and powerful conceptual design software

CFturbo, Inc., an engineering company specializing in turbomachinery design software and services, announces the new release of CFturbo, CFturbo 2024.R1. With this latest software release, the company has added a several new features to their proprietary software that will enhance the conceptual design of pumps, blowers, fans, compressors, and turbines. Unlike any other Turbo-machinery design software, the CFturbo code can be uniquely combined with CAE-codes of third-party vendors like ANSYS, Cadence, SIEMENS PLM, and SIMERICS, or open-source simulation and optimization software.

The new release contains all-new capabilities as well as substantial improvements to existing components: In CFturbo 2024.R1 wall thickness can be specified to CFturbo volutes, see image 1. Now, CFturbo has been enabled to use the REFPROP library, as an alternative to COOLPROP. The new software release comes with an extended functionality to duplicate entire Turbomachinery stages. A user can also define CFturbo output parameters as constraints when running optimizations, and NACA blade profile parameters are available for design exploration and optimization. Splitter blade profiling has become more flexible, for example, splitter blades that are linked to main blades can have an independent blade thickness.

And there will be the CFturbo BLADERUNNER, an all-new user-friendly GUI to prepare, mesh, set up and post process CFD runs, see images 2,3, and 4! Currently, the CFturbo BLADRUNNER is available for Simerics MP/MP+.
