About BladeModeler
BladeModeler is a new blade geometry creation product (Windows OS only) that consists of three components:
– BladeGen – Blade creation and editing tool
– DesignModeler – Workbench CAD solid modeler
– BladeEditor – Add-In to DesignModeler that can import and convert BladeGen geometry into a solid model

Splitter Blade
Note on the Geometry and Inlet Gas Angles tab, the number of intervanes is equal to the number of main blades
– This means our impeller will have one splitter blade per passage
Click New Model to build the model
When prompted, save geometry as filename impeller1.bgd

Create TurboGrid Files
TurboGrid is used to create a high quality, hexahedral mesh for CFD
Export the data for TurboGrid– File > Export > TurboGrid Input Files…
– Four TurboGrid files will be created
• .inf file containing machine info
• Hub, shroud, and profile curve files
– Click OK to write the files
See TurboGrid demonstration for more details on the power of using TurboGrid!

The solid geometry could be sent to Simulation for structural analysis
The fluid domain could be sent to CFX-Mesh or ICEM for meshing
Try on your own:– Add a fillet to the blade
– Modify the hub inlet
