## 7.6. Launching a New BladeEditor Model

A new BladeEditor model can be generated from an up-to-date Vista CPD system using the Create New > Geometry command in the right-click context menu of the Blade Design cell. This command launches ANSYS DesignModeler (with BladeEditor) and generates the new model.

You can either generate only the impeller in BladeEditor, or you can generate the impeller and the volute. To generate only the impeller, set the Impeller export type property in the Properties view of the Blade Design cell to `Isolated impeller`. To generate the impeller and the volute, set the Impeller export type property to `Coupled to Volute`. This property is set to `Isolated impeller` by default.

Note: The DesignModeler model is detached from the Vista CPD system (that is, no link is generated). Therefore, any changes made to the Vista CPD system will not be reflected in the DesignModeler model following an update of the Vista CPD system.
