Hi All,
I have a CAD model of a radial turbine which I'm gonna have it analysed with CFX. I know there is a way to extract hub, shroud and other curves from the cad model and redesign it using Bladegen, but what I'm asked to do is to analyse the exact CAD file geometry.
So far, we have created the flow domain using SW and imported the .step file to the design modeler, like the following screenshot:


I think the problem is quite obvious now, I want to make a fluid path between two blades and export it to Turbogrid, but I don't know how to do so!

Hello,

Is it helped you : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHc2-6d5jR0

Take care,

This little guide may be helpful for people with the same problem as mine.

by using the following video, one can extract the curves needed for precise remodeling of the blades in bladegen: (Thanks to Véronique)

and the following tutorial will be useful for sending the geometry information directly to turbogrid:

P.S: Both videos are using blade modeler tool bars which are not initially accessible in design modeler, to enable the blade modeler tool bar, go to
Workbench>Tools(Menu)>License Preferences>Geometry(Tab)
and put the Blademodeler license in the first place.
