en.Wedoany.com Reported - Concepts NREC has released version 2026.1 of its Agile Engineering Design System (AEDS) in the United States, featuring major updates to turbomachinery design, analysis, and manufacturing workflows. The new version enhances secondary flow analysis, data transfer between software modules, complex geometry machining options, and process documentation settings.
In terms of secondary flow analysis, version 2026.1 adds more leakage path analysis capabilities for radial and axial machines. Users can utilize Cadence Fidelity Fine Turbo and Concepts NREC's pbCFD to solve secondary flow paths for standard, stepped, or custom labyrinth seals. Meanwhile, updates to path geometry processing in AxCent provide more configuration options, helping to improve CFD solution success rates.
Regarding workflow, the new version adds automatic links between modules, reducing manual setup. A new automatic connection between AxCent and CTAADS enables direct transfer of blade geometry and CFD results to cooled turbomachinery analysis projects. The integration of TurboOpt II with Ansys optiSLang has also been updated, enabling automatic exchange of inputs and outputs to simplify project setup.
On the machining side, the MAX-PAC version introduces new roughing, finishing, and multi-directional operations for complex blade geometries. New toolpaths include: helical roughing for parts with shrouds or tailstock support when tip access is unavailable; 3+2 roughing that supports undercuts using lollipop cutters, disc mills, and barrel tools to improve material removal efficiency; and blade finishing toolpaths that can extend to the hub, reducing leading edge cusps and mismatches.
For process documentation settings, the machining setup properties menu now features a centralized interface, allowing users to adjust setup images, column configurations, and output formats (HTML or TXT) to ensure consistent export results.
