Meshing of Complex Blade Ends using Ansys BladeBuilder Software and Ansys TurboGrid Software (Workshop)

This course provides a step-by-step workflow for creating complex blade-end features, such as squealer tips, and generating high-quality hybrid meshes for turbomachinery blades using Ansys BladeBuilder software and Ansys TurboGrid™ turbine blade meshing software. It covers importing NDF geometry files, adding high-fidelity details, managing Named Selections, exporting TGINIT files in Ansys BladeBuilder software, and refining meshing parameters to ensure smooth transitions between mesh regions in Ansys TurboGrid software. The process concludes with mesh quality checks and integration options within Ansys Workbench™ simulation integration platform for streamlined CFD analysis.

Learning Outcomes:

Following completion of this course, you will be able to:

• Import NDF (Neutral Data Files) in Ansys BladeBuilder software.
• Add complex geometry features in Ansys BladeBuilder software.
• Generate high-quality hybrid numerical meshes in Ansys TurboGrid software.

Prerequisites:

• Ansys Discovery™ 3D product simulation software.
• Ansys TurboGrid™ turbine blade meshing software.
• Ansys Workbench platform (optional).

Please note: These training materials were developed and tested in the 2025R2 release.
