Elevate Turbomachinery Performance with Concepts NREC Design Solutions

For over 50 years, Concepts NREC has been partnering with the world’s leading OEMs to improve the performance and manufacturability of their turbomachines. It is the only company in the world whose in-house capabilities span the entire process—from conceptual design through manufacturing, testing, and installation. This unique perspective drives innovation across its entire offering. Concepts NREC’s clients benefit from having a trusted partner who can see the big picture and provide valuable insights that save them time and money.

Concepts NREC’s integrated design and manufacturing software suite, the Agile Engineering Design System®, covers the entire design process — from preliminary sizing through fluid dynamics and mechanical stress and vibration analysis. Final designs are seamlessly transferred to MAX-PACTM to create efficient 5-axis machining strategies

Its automated optimization software, TurboOpt IITM, saves engineering time and explores new areas of the design space that conventional approaches do not have time to investigate. TurboOpt II enables detailed optimization workflows to be set up in minutes using turbomachinery specific parameters (for example: maximize stage efficiency by adjusting impeller geometry using AxCent®’s parameterization).

TurboOpt II also allows multi-disciplinary optimization (MDO) in which a design can be optimized for aerodynamic performance, structural reliability, and manufacturability. Used in conjunction with Isight, mode FRONTIER and other industry-standard optimization packages, parallel optimization on clusters and high performance workstations is fully supported.

Concepts NREC engineers have recently collaborated with Dassault Systèmes SIMULIA to configure Isight with its state-of-the-art Pointer-2 algorithm to develop unique optimization workflows combining design and off-design searches.

Its sophisticated software tools empower designers and product development teams worldwide and enable innovative solutions by applying a cost-effective concurrent development approach that balances issues of performance, reliability, operating life, and low-cost manufacturability.

Concepts NREC has the vision to create great designs and a hard-earned reputation for delivering them.
