## 7.3. Context Menu Commands of the Blade Design Cell

You can access a context menu for the Blade Design cell in the Vista CPD component system by right-clicking the cell. Most of the commands that are available are standard, and are described in Cells in Workbench. The context menu commands that are specific to the Blade Design cell are described in Table 7.1: Context Menu Commands Specific to the Vista CPD Blade Design Cell.

Table 7.1: Context Menu Commands Specific to the Vista CPD Blade Design Cell

Command | Description
--- | ---
Edit | This command opens the Vista Centrifugal Pump Design dialog box.
Import BladeGen File | This command first prompts you to select a BladeGen file, then imports the Vista CPD settings from the selected file into the cell properties. The BladeGen file is required to have been written by an older version of BladeGen that included Vista CPD. Older versions of BladeGen wrote Vista CPD settings into the BladeGen file. By contrast, a BladeGen file produced by the Create New > BladeGen command does not contain the Vista CPD data required for the Import BladeGen File command.
Create New > BladeGen | This command creates a BladeGen system that contains a 3D model based on the 1D model in the Vista CPD system. For details, see Launching a New BladeGen Model.
Create New > Volute | This command creates a system with a geometry cell and a mesh cell. The volute mesh from this system can be combined with the matching impeller mesh for CFD analysis. For details, see Creating a New Volute.
Create New > Throughflow | This command creates a Throughflow system that can be used to perform a throughflow study using Vista TF. For details, see Creating a New Throughflow System.
Create New > Geometry | This command creates a Geometry system that contains a 3D model based on the 1D model in the Vista CPD system. For details, see Launching a New BladeEditor Model.
