Concepts NREC Announces TurboOPT II Software Optimization Tool

By DE Editors

Concepts NREC (White River Junction, VT), a global turbomachinery design, engineering, and development organization, announced TurboOPT II, described as a comprehensive optimization tool that works in conjunction with all of Concepts NREC’s software for the design and analysis of turbomachinery.

Concepts NREC’s TurboOPT II software optimization tool gives turbomachinery designers and manufacturers the freedom to specify multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) requirements, as well as access to an advanced parameterized geometry engine, enhanced performance prediction with meanline methods, and the detailed analysis capabilities of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element analysis (FEA).

TurboOPT II, which is designed to be used with components comprising the Agile Engineering Design System, helps engineers identify optimal designs quickly through the most appropriate computer modeling tools. It uses a multiple-level approach to explore the design space and enables sequential, coupled, nested, and combined optimization in a straightforward manner. Compatible with the most popular optimization solvers and, potentially, any other proprietary optimization engine, Concepts NREC’s TurboOPT II can be used to design compressors, pumps, fans, and turbines, including radial, mixed-flow, and axial machinery (or any combination thereof) as well as to fulfill computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) and machining needs.
