Help with my Turbocharger design.

[Anonymous]

Im a few months into studying Mech Eng so naturally i am new to Inventor. Im in the process of trying to design a turbocharger and i keep getting stuck on the interior of the housing. I need the end of the loop to taper onto the turbine/compressor blade as opposed to hitting a wall and doing a 90°turn onto the wall. I think the direction of flow is paramount to the behaviour of force acting on the turbine. Ill post up pics explaining what i want to to do.

HI!

No pictures, but anyway... it's better to post the ipt file...

Hey Carlos, i just uploaded the IPT file. I was gonna post up pics outlining/highlighting what i wanted to do, if the IPT file is all that is needed that would be great.

Hey Frank, do you have any ideas on a solution?

Ceboske,

Only what I had posted before, create the housing as a solid
and then use the shell tool, removing the opening surfaces. But to be
honest, you question seemed more like you were having problems with the
impeller, but the part file was the housing. For the impeller I would do a
loft on a curved path, then circular pattern. I would the place the impeller
in the housing in an assembly file and use the housing to trim the impeller
blades. Hope this helps.
