Flownex Simulation Environment 2023 v8.15.0.5222

Flownex Simulation Environment delivers technology that enables you to study how systems will behave in the real world, where fluid is the driving factor. Flownex system simulation relays the overall effect of changing specific properties on components, allowing clients to examine extensively all possible variations of a system in the design and optimization of systems.

Flownex Simulation Environment provides turbomachinery engineers with an easy to use, off-the-shelf tool for modelling combustion chambers, secondary air systems, blade cooling flows, lubrication systems with oil-air mixtures, as well as overall cycle integration and operation.

Blade Cooling
By coupling 1D flow Flownex models with 3D heat transfer models in ANSYS Mechanical or CFX, a detailed turbine blade cooling simulation can be conducted. Flownex contains industry-standard pressure drop and heat transfer correlations for typical turbine blade features such as turbulator strips and pedestals. This allows designers to rapidly see the effects of their design changes on the maximum blade temperatures and cooling airflow rate.

COMBUSTION CHAMBER
Preliminary combustor design requires that an extensive number of geometrical and operational conditions be evaluated and compared. Especially during this phase, Flownex is an essential tool for combustor design engineers as it accurately captures important parameters such as the mass flow rate distribution through air admission holes, associated pressure losses as well as liner wall temperatures. Networks can be easily configured and solved within a few seconds. This result in substantial development cost savings because of the reduction in the number of detailed 3D simulations and rig tests required. A further advantage is the ability to use the Flownex results as boundary conditions for subsequent localized 3D models.

LUBRICATION SYSTEM
The primary use of Flownex in lubrication systems is used to determine optimum drain line sizes given the limited space inside the engine. This requires two-phase pressure drop calculations in lines with oil-air mixtures. In parallel with this engineers can determine whether or not scavenge pumps are required for fluid transportation in the drain lines and, if so, what the pumping requirement will be.

SECONDARY & COOLANT FLOW
Flownex includes a comprehensive rotating component library for analysing the secondary air system of a gas turbine engine. This enables engineers to quantify the bleed air consumption and flow distribution through the entire system. Furthermore, coupling Flownex with Ansys Mechanical enables engineers to perform detailed thermal studies of critical rotating components. Flownex includes:

• Real gas models.
• Windage power calculation.
• Choking calculations.
• User-defined HTCs.

Hexagon Vero REcreate 2023.2

Discover REcreate, the reverse engineering software that reduces workflow complexity to create a faster and more flexible design, production and inspection environment.

REcreate takes the complexity out of reverse engineering to create a smarter, faster and more flexible design and production environment for modelling new products and for repairing or replacing parts.

Highly flexible, REcreate stands apart from traditional reverse engineering software by incorporating a CAD system that can create 2D drawings as well as CAD models. REcreate fits into any existing production workflow and is versatile enough to be used as a standalone product, working with machines that don’t use CAM data, or as part of an end-to-end CAD to CAM solution. Other key functionalities include direct modelling, which makes it easy for users to form the shape the require.

The ease-of-use and interoperability of REcreate make it simple for users to capture data by connecting directly to scanning devices or importing mesh, solid, surface or point cloud data. They can model designs in a single environment using a full array of modelling data and manufacture using CAD/CAM – as well as validate quality. And they can start at whichever point in the reverse engineering process that best suits their needs.

With REcreate manufacturers and OEMs can:

• Reconstruct legacy parts.
• Develop innovative products from existing parts.
• Ensure a precise fit for new components.
• Create CAD for parts when none exist.
• Up date design files to reflect changes that occurred during manufacturing or prototyping.

And because REcreate is designed to operate with a wide range of third-party systems, it can be used either as a fully end-to-end reverse engineering solution or as a complement to existing technology.

Makes possible evaluation alternative designs and materials. Dynaform’s tube forming simulation now supports multi-stage tube forming, including tube bending, tube pre-forming, tube hydroforming, trimming, and annealing. The simulations can accurately predict failures like wrinkles, cracks, spring back, and feasibility of hydroforming.  No matter what process you are using or which stage you are focusing on, you can easily find the function you are looking for. Dynaform’s bending table now supports editing, inserting, and deleting operations. Users can now also import the bending table manually or automatically generate it from the center line. Our bending table generation algorithm improvements now serve to save users significant amounts of time generating tables. Hydroforming in Dynaform now supports comprehensive die face design including tube end extensions, centerline auto calculating, quick generating of die separating lines, mesh model separation based on separating lines, and more. Instead of switching to CAD software to create the tools, users can finish almost all major FEA model preparation works in Dynaform. Dynaform’s forming simulation software makes it possible to uncover design flaws early in the process. Using the various modules engineers can more-fully evaluate alternative–and unconventional–designs. Doing so helps ensure higher quality outcomes.
