Açıklama

AutoDesign™ is an integrated & optimization-based 1D-to-3D design software environment for multiphysics and multidisciplinary (CFD-FEA-CAA) design of turbomachinery.  AutoDesign™  is a powerful tool dedicated to fast design and optimization of multistage machines starting from initial design objectives. Integrated with AutoGrid5™, FINE™/Turbo and FINE™/Design3D, it offers an integrated chain from 1D to 3D, including aerodynamics, mechanics and aero-acoustics 1D-3D optimization.

AutoDesign™ is based on a novel and revolutionary approach, being the first in coupling advanced optimization methods with ultra-fast and accurate meshing and CFD and MDO solutions, enabling to design innovative optimal machine in very short time in one single software.

AutoDesign™  is powered by OMNIS™, NUMECA’s new generation environment for multiphysics simulation and optimization, which offers the enhanced productivity of a cutting edge software.
