Hi everybody,

I've started to test ANSYS workbench to get a feeling about automatic optimization procedure to get the ideal impeller geometry for specific boundary conditions.
I´ve found a webinar on ANSYS homepage called "improving turbocharger design" where the author explained a closed loop with Vista CCD-BladeModeler-Vista TF to get a first optimization for given flow conditions. Unfortenualy I struggled to create the same for my own. Two main steps I don't understand and don't let me proceed

- every time I connect BM with Vista TF and start the calculating procedure an error message stated that some geometrical parameters missing/can´t use from Vista TF
Does anybody know a good documentation that is describing the connection between these two components or describing the needs of TF?

- the webinar is showing a closed loop optimization with using a parametric model in BM and DesignExplorer(started at 24:30)
Does anybody know how I can implement this parametric model into BM? Do I need the Throughflow component?
Do I need I connection to TF to optimize the geometrical parameter to flow parameter?


Maybe anybody know a tutorial or similar that's explaining these or a similar optimization procedure.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Michael
