ANSYS® Vista™ TF
Accelerate your turbomachinery development process with
ANSYS Vista TF throughflow solutions.
ANSYS Vista TF software is the ideal tool for rapid and reliable
aerodynamic and hydrodynamic blade row design. With computing
times of mere seconds, it enables engineers to quickly develop blade
geometries that achieve desired performance objectives. ANSYS Vista
TF contributes great value in the early stages of the design, during
which changes are most easily made and it is critical to get the basic
design right.
ANSYS Vista TF bridges the space between preliminary (1-D or meanline) design solutions and full 3-D CFD analysis, balancing the simplicity
of the former with the fidelity of the latter. It solves the circumferentially averaged inviscid Navier–Stokes equations, supplemented by
established empirical models for losses and deviation. With minimal
computational effort, ANSYS Vista TF throughflow solutions capture
many features of a full 3-D flow simulation, thereby facilitating rapid
improvements in blade designs.

Mixed-flow pump stage

The software is easy to learn and easy to use. Within the ANSYS®
Workbench™ environment models are rapidly set up, solved and
reviewed. Both ANSYS Vista TF and the full ANSYS CFD solution use
the same consistent post-processing tools, including automated
report-generation capabilities.
ANSYS Vista TF is one component of the ANSYS suite of rotating
machinery-specific tools, all integrated within ANSYS Workbench.
This modern and flexible user environment, which includes persistent
parameterization, enables full-physics analysis in concert with the
wide range of high-fidelity fluids, structural and dynamics tools
from ANSYS.
