Hello everyone,

I have two simple questions. I have a .tinXML file for one blade of the centrifugal compressor. I looked at the many different programs such as ICEM, TurboGrid, Cfturbo. However, I could not understand how I can use this file? You can find the file description below (1).

Also, I have surface geometry (not body). How can I use this geometry for turbomachinery simulation? It cannot be converted to a solid body. Therefore, my mesh cannot be implemented on the CFX. If there is any recommendation for these questions, I will very appreciate. Thank you.

I add the first lines below (1):

It seems a CFTurbo file. CFTurbo has interface with ANSYS Workbench, see: https://cfturbo.com/es/software/inte...nsys-workbench

Try taking a look at Bladegen, a highly automated turbomachinery design program within ANSYS.
