Should I suggest the school to buy the liscenses of Turbogrid and Bladegen?

Hi all:
I am a graduate student focusing on the CFD simulation of turbomachine by means of CFX. When I first checked my computer from the university, I found the Ansys workbench doesnot have Bladegen and Turbogrid. I am a novice of CFD, I am not sure whether bladegen and turbogrid are strongly recommended while carrying on CFD simulation. May I have your any kinds of suggestion? Thank you!

They are packages to draw and mesh rotating machinery blades. If you have another means of generating blade geometry and meshes then you might be able to do without it. But they are quite good by all accounts so if you are at all serious about blade design I would at least arrange for a trial of it to see if it will be useful for you.
