Experts from Concepts NREC demonstrate new software products at the TPS exhibit hall

This company has released Version 8.6 of its Agile Engineering Design System software, an integrated suite of computer-aided engineering (CAE) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) programs that is specialized for turbomachinery. This integrated system enables users to optimize designs based on the impact to cost, machining time and performance. A new feature in Version 8.6 is a recirculating casing treatment (RCT) for compressor range extension that is integrated throughout the entire design process from preliminary design through 3D geometry, grid generation and flow solving. The newest version of the CAM module, MAX-PAC focuses on making complex 5-axis programming simple and efficient. Features include new virtual milling functionality that simulates material removal. Other enhanced features are more options for roughing, new plunge milling strategies for harder materials  and new options for high-quality point and flank milled blades.
