Abstract:

Interactive blade design, fluid flow analysis, stress analysis and NC-matching of both model and prototype blades are working from a common data base and are demonstrated in this paper. The application of the finite-element-method for the fluid flow analysis is predicting the complex behavior of the fluid flow and is yielding new designs with improved performance characteristics. The three-dimensional stress analysis provides detailed informations of the static and dynamic behavior of the computed component. For optimizing the manufacturing process the CAD/CAM-technology is used.
