Solidworks CAD Enables Tidal Turbine Design

Solidworks CAD and Flow Simulation are being used to enable Green-Tide Turbine founder Michael Evans to visualise ideas for his company's tidal turbines. The turbines use duct with a stator/rotor arrangement to convert the action of water flowing through the duct to generate electricity, generating electricity cost effectively in weaker currents.

When Evans has ideas for modifying the design, he works them out using CAD and Flow Simulation before showing them to his engineering team for possible development. Evans modifies his designs with Solidworks CAD and simulates their behaviour with Solidworks Flow Simulation to improve the turbines' survivability. Once he and his engineers have finalised a modification, they send a Solidworks 3D model to a rapid prototyping partner that produces a part for live testing.
