Re-Designs

Re-designs can be Parameterized or History-based. A parameterized re-design process allows to modify every parameter of a model, while a history-based process allows quick and automatic re-designs based on user-specified input parameters. The hierarchic dependence of the design features facilitates the re-design process. If changes are applied to one feature, all the dependent features will be automatically regenerated.

Example of Parameterized Re-Design.

History-based Re-Design: Changing a feature related to the main pipe regenerates all the dependent features (secondary pipes).

Design with Templates

Models with pre-defined parameters:

• Build-In Libraries
• Custom
   

Templates are handy for automatic re-desings:

• Input parameters from CENTAUR
• Input parameters from Excel
• Apply scripting
   

Templates: Libraries

Extensive database of existing designs available:

• Aircraft: airfoils, wings, tails, fuselages, engines
• Turbomachines: gas turbines, steam turbines, hydro turbines, wind turbines
• Helicopters
