Concepts NREC Announces Agile Engineering Design System 2009 Turbomachinery Software

By DE Editors

Concepts NREC’s Agile Engineering Design System 2009 software is now shipping.  Upgraded with more than 40 new computer-aided engineering (CAE) features and enhancements, Agile 2009 provides turbomachinery engineers with new design and analysis capabilities.

Anderson added that there are cyclical patterns in turbomachinery as in every industry and that the megatrend in engineering software is to take advantage of ever-growing computing power and core technologies such as visualization and solution algorithms.  Striving for greater efficiency is part of this trend.  The new features in Concepts NREC’s Agile 2009 software are designed to help engineers improve their designs, making them more efficient through reduced fuel consumption and carbon dioxide output. 

Some of the new features and upgrades in the Concepts NREC Agile 2009 are pushbutton computational fluid dynamics (Pushbutton CFD) volute support, integrated finite element analysis (FEA), global grid smoothing, mixed grid topologies, and mass-flow boundary conditions. 

Concepts NREC is offering free webinars for anyone interested in learning how to more easily and quickly leverage the Agile 2009 software tools to design more efficient turbomachinery.  The 1.5-hour webinars are scheduled for:

• Thursday, Oct. 8, 2009, 10:00 a.m. Eastern
• Thursday, Nov. 5, 2009, 10:00 a.m. Eastern
