Centrifugal Compressor Pie Slice

Centrifugal Compressor Pie Slice

Centrifugal Compressor Pie Slice

(OP)
Hello,

I am trying to reduce the full hub that was generated from BladeGen into a complex pie slice along the outer edges of the fluid path.

Currently, BladeGen is the program that I am using which then feeds into TurboGrid, CFX and then into Static Structural.
Separately, I have a copy of the original BladeGen file, which I have selected to produce the hub section (full 360 degrees). This second BladeGen file then feeds into a Geometry file to section into a pie slice.

What I’m trying to do:

The following link is to a file that I came across during a google search. The part was manipulated and analysed using ANSYS Workbench and is exactly what I am trying to accomplish (minus the shroud). I wish to take a slice of the hub that encompasses a single blade. I would like to use the fluid domain to represent the slice since it represents a unit that can be multiplied to create the entire compressor / turbine.

Pg 12 and 13, of the linked pdf, are the relevant pages.

I am at a loss as to how to accomplish this in ANSYS Workbench 14.

The outer fluid paths are represented in the model tree as:

PeriodicA1 and PeriodicB1. I would like to cut the hub by these two planes as they are perfectly repeatable sections of geometry.

I appreciate your time.

Thank you.
