Hello,


I am trying to modify centrifugal pump blades in Blade Gen in a way that the shape would be similar to general shapes of Francis turbine (in attachment). With a goal that leading edge at the shroud would connect at 90 deg angle, for example. I want to modify centrifugal pump with which I already made some simulations. My goal is to only change certain height coordinates (Z) on flowpath lines with the rest of the pump to be changed as least as possible (especially beta angles on leading edge.



So my wider question is: is there any trick to change that meridional view in Blade gen to some other coordinate system to be able to modify the pump in different way?



Thank you for replies!
