The official website declaims that VISTA TF can be used for quick through flow analysis of most turbomachinery including centrifugal pump、radial impeller et al. However, the mentioned obeject are all radial turbosystems, and the tutorial also did not show how to deal with axial flow equipment such as axial turbine or compressor blades. Could VISTA TF be able to analyze the through flow condition of such axial products or is there any similar software can do the meridional flow analysis?

Hi, there is an option for Axial Compressor or Axial Turbine Machine Type in the properties of the Vista TF cell of Workbench.

Thank you Petros for your kindly reply. But I'm still wondering that if I want to do a throughflow anlaysis for a compressor stage, including a row of rotor and a row of stator, does it mean that I should create a TFExport for the two blades respectively in a same DesignModeler Module and then transform to VISTA TF automatically by connecting the modules?
