Cradle has released their new simpler, faster solution for fan design, SmartBlades.
SmartBlades simplifies axial cooling fan design by automating generation of blade geometry CAD data. Engineers adjust parameters for blade number, profile, and twist. Shape information can be output in Parasolid XT format compatible with most CAE software. Or seamlessly import it into Cradle SC/Tetra CFD software where the flow field simulation set-up, calculations, and post-processing are initiated automatically.
