CFturbo releases design software update

CFturbo, an engineering company specializing in turbomachinery design software and services, has released an upgrade of its CFturbo 2023.R1 software.

With this latest software release, the company said it has added several new features to its proprietary software that will push the limits of the conceptual design of pumps, blowers, fans, compressors, and turbines. Unlike any other turbomachinery design software on the market, CFturbo can be uniquely combined with different CAE-codes of third-party vendors like ANSYS, cadence, SIEMENS PLM, and SIMERICS, or open-source simulation and optimization software.

With this release, CFturbo said it enhanced its Reverse Engineering (RE) of arbitrary bladed turbomachinery components like axial, mixed-flow and centrifugal rotors, or vaned stators. CFturbo 2023.R1 comes with the options for radial and meridional trimming of impellers. In addition, several new modeling details were added, new impeller main dimension calculations, flexible design options for the impeller solid domain and secondary flow path, a new volute loss coefficient and sizing parameter calculation, and the possibility to duplicate entire Turbomachinery stages. Furthermore, a direct interface to the SimScale platform was written to enable immediate access to web-based CFD- and FEA-simulations.

CFturbo is headquartered in Dresden, Germany, with another major office in Brooklyn, New York. Founded in 2008, CFturbo is an industry leader in turbomachinery design software. CFturbo software and Engineering services customers span various industries, including aerospace and defense, automotive, energy, oil & gas, HVAC, marine, process industry, appliances, and med-tech worldwide.
