Software provides offline control of welding
VirtualArc is a powerful software tool that gives robot welding engineers full "offline" control of the MIG/MAG process.
The programme constitutes a "learn as you go" course that aids students in understanding the overall design and performance principles of axial and radial turbines and compressors through the same fully interactive AxStream design programs used by engineering professionals throughout the world.
The educational version is configured to be easily integrated into the teaching process and course curricula.
"AxStream is a highly efficient and integrated turbomachinery design system that includes many years of valuable design expertise", says Dr Cengiz Camci, Professor of Aerospace Engineering at Penn State University.
"The software is highly integrated with many well known design methods, loss correlations and efficiency definition systems".
"Industrial design exercises can be effectively completed in short amounts of time".
"A complex multistage design can be quickly analysed for stress concentrations and flow field anomalies using built-in solvers".
"The use of this design suite in turbomachinery education both at undergraduate and graduate level should enhance the quality of engineering education in aerospace and mechanical engineering programmes".
"The student's time consumption from concept to multistage turbomachinery design is shortened immensely".
Gaining marketable skills in turbomachinery design and multidisciplinary optimisation, the student (individually or in study teams) will be able to: design a flow path based on given overall application requirements; appreciate the interactions between aerodynamic performance and mechanical integrity; perform design optimisation encompassing 1D and 2D direct problem computation; generate cascade profiles that easily relate to aerodynamic theory; and create full three-dimensional blade/vane designs.
