Concepts NREC releases Agile Engineering Design System v2025.1

V2025.1 introduces ARMD rotordynamics integrated into AEDS.

Concepts NREC has released Agile Engineering Design System version 2025.1. The Agile Engineering Design System (AEDS) is an integrated suite of software modules for CAE and CAM specialized for turbomachinery.

V2025.1 is a major new release and includes the first release of the ARMD rotordynamics software as an integrated part of the AEDS. Users can launch ARMD from within AxCent to analyze rotordynamics in real time during the design process. The release also includes the integration of ADS Code LEO, a GPU powered CFD code that can run 15-120X faster than other commercially available turbomachinery CFD solvers. In addition the cycle analysis software CYCAL is now available as part of the AEDS. 

All of the modules have significant new capabilities, the most significant being the addition of secondary flow models for seals in all of the meanline codes, the seamless transfer of the seal geometry to AxCent and pbCFD and the ability to analyze leakage paths in pbCFD. TurboOpt II ties everything together with a new Design of Experiments (DOE) feature to explore design tradeoffs in all areas. Our machining software, MAX-PAC has undergone a major upgrade to the MAX-SI module of 5 axis machining of integrally shrouded impellers.

Version 2025.1 is available now for active Agile Product Support (APS) members to download.
