## 7.1. Vista CPD Workflows

1. With ANSYS Workbench running, create a new Vista CPD system (available in the Component Systems toolbox).

   (Double-click the Vista CPD system or drag it onto the Project Schematic view.)

2. Either edit the Blade Design cell of the new Vista CPD system or show that cell's properties.

   (Right-click the Blade Design cell and select Edit, or click View, and select Properties).

   Editing the cell causes the Vista Centrifugal Pump Design dialog box to appear.

   The cell properties can be used as an alternative to the dialog box. One advantage of using cell properties is that you can make use of Workbench input parameters to specify the values of input settings.

3. Specify the required input settings:

   - Information about the duty of the pump such as rotational speed, volume flow rate, and density

   - The pump efficiencies

   - Geometric constraints such as the shaft minimum diameter factor

   - Some aerodynamic and geometric settings (for example, the number of vanes) that are open to change during this 1D design procedure.

   See Operating conditions Tab and Geometry Tab for details on the input settings.

4. Compute a pump design by clicking Calculate.

5. Assess the results.

   See Results Tab for descriptions of the results.

6. Continue to revise the input data and refresh (regenerate) the results until you obtain a satisfactory 1D design.
