CFTurbo 2023 Free Download

Introduction

CFturbo is a professional-grade turbomachinery design tool that enables engineers to create or reverse-engineer components like pumps fans compressors and turbines. The official site offers a fully functional one-month trial requiring registration (for corporate or academic users)  The trial includes full support and access to additional free tools like CFturbo FEA and Ansys extensions 

Features

• Interactive 3D geometry building: Rotate zoom export/import CAD models
• Parametric design: All steps are editable with defined ranges for automated optimization 
• Reverse engineering: Import STEP/IGES/Parasolid and reconstruct parametric models 
• Modules for pumps fans compressors turbines—supports axial radial mixed-flow types 
• CFD/FEA workflow integration: Includes interfaces to Ansys Simerics SimScale scFLOW HELYX and others 

• New in 2023 R2 (Nov 2023):

• Draft angles for spiral sections and splitters

• Custom loss coefficients/stator losses
• Variable density modeling using CoolProp
• Improved component duplication and efficiency curves 

• In 2023 R1 (May 2023):

• Impeller trimming (radial/meridional)

• Volute loss coefficients

• Duplication of stages

• Enhanced export options to SimScale and Simerics.
