Define the 3-D blade geometry. The geometry is ready for analysis.

New blade mesh task automatically creates the geometry and mesh for the analysis.

A solid model is generated in DesignModeler.

A hybrid mesh with inflation is created in the Meshing Application.

New blade CFD simulation task starts Turbo-Pre with the newly created mesh.

Turbo-Pre wizard walks through the analysis preparation.

In a few clicks the solver can be started, or the user can enter the general mode.

For For this this simple simple mesh, mesh, the the solution solution only only requires requires a a few few minutes. minutes.

In CFX-Post, the appropriate report template is automatically loaded.

The report includes tabulated performance results
