Rolls-Royce applies Isight to automate meanline prediction, throughflow analysis, 2D/3D blade design, CFD, and FEA within a single workflow. Custom components and templates allow both expert and casual users to run DOE, Monte Carlo, and optimization routines. The approach reduced a full design iteration from one day to 13 minutes and lowered downstream redesign work.

Key takeaways

Isight links CAD, CFD, FEA, and cost models into automated simulation workflows

Meanline, throughflow, and blade geometry optimization run sequentially without manual intervention

Custom Isight components and templates standardize processes and reduce setup errors

Design iteration cycle shortened from ~1 day to 13 minutes with less redesign

Robust design focus improves quality, weight, and manufacturing cost control
