Parametric CAD – CENTAUR Software

Parametric Re-Design

parameterized re-design process allows to modify every parameter of a model.

 

  • Manual Re-designs

Design with Templates

Templates are parameterized geometry models. They are built into GeoCreate and are very useful for automatic re-designs. The templates can also be dynamically created by the user, either from scratch or by modifying existing ones.

 

Multiple ways to handle the Templates:

  • via input from CENTAUR
  • via input from Geocreate
  • via scripting

Wing Template

Templates: Libraries

Extensive database of existing designs available:

  • Aircraft: airfoils, wings, tails, fuselages, engines
  • Turbomachines: gas turbines, steam turbines, hydro turbines, wind turbines
  • Helicopters

Example of an airfoil template.
