Ansys TurboGrid provides users with a fast method to produce a high-quality mesh for blade passages in rotating machinery.
Ansys TurboGrid is a high-quality turbomachinery meshing software. It features novel automated mesh generation capabilities in a simple-to-use, streamlined workspace. The tools offered can be applied to a wide variety of turbomachinery equipment and will help produce better simulation results.
TurboGrid is a mesh generation software that provides high-quality mesh for the most complex blade geometries. Getting a perfect mesh can be a time-consuming and frustrating exercise. This powerful software allows you to achieve optimal blade meshes and focus more time on simulation results.

In 2024 R2, new enhancements to Ansys Turbogrid include PyTurbogrid for enhanced automation and customization options, fully-released hybrid meshing support, and automated 3D CAD geometry creation using the Ansys BladeBuilder an add-in in Ansys Discovery.
Ansys TurboGrid can be driven via Python scripts, allowing you to automate repetitive tasks, customize workflows, and develop tailored solutions for turbomachinery meshing processes that align with your specific engineering requirements.
Hybrid meshing is now fully released and supports high-fidelity blade features intersecting periodic boundaries, allowing you to mesh blades with end-wall contouring and casing grooves.
Ansys BladeBuilder is an Ansys Discovery add-in that automates 3D CAD geometry creation for Ansys Turbogrid from blade NDF files and now supports low-fidelity and high-fidelity geometry generation with cut-off and square blades, including splitters.
Turbomachinery engineers utilize Ansys simulation tools to achieve a more efficient and cost-effective design.
“The ease of use of Ansys solutions makes it possible to define a complete workflow and methodology in a short period of time” - Brice Caussanel and Renaud Signoret, Turbomachinery Engineers, Continental Industrie, Saint-Trivier-sur-Moignans France
Aeration is a key action in wastewater treatment. This step provides air to microorganisms that help breakdown organic matter, with H20 and C02 as the byproducts. However, aeration is also an extremely costly process that requires large amounts of power for compressors to effectively aerate massive pools of water. Even the slightest increase in compressor efficiency will lead to substantial savings.
Turbomachinery engineers at Continental Industrie chose Ansys fluid tools to improve their existing compressor design. Before simulation, the engineers used Ansys TurboGrid to automatically produce hexahedral meshes for all their bladed components (inlet guide vanes, impeller and diffuser). The software produced tailored, high-quality results which allowed them to perform in-depth and accurate simulation. The mesh was just one step during the design process, but TurboGrid allowed them to start simulation faster, and spend more time on design optimization.
TurboGrid is the industry-leading automated mesh generation tool. Although it is automated, you’ll be able to customize your experience by defining detailed mesh settings, such as desired mesh size or blade boundary layer resolution. Furthermore, it contains a rapid mesh quality feedback and will help you fix regions that do not meet target quality. TurboGrid contains many tools that exhibit similar display properties to other blade design software such as the 2-D blade-to-blade views and meridional planes. It is a very intuitive workspace that allows for simple, yet powerful, mesh generation.
