Concepts NREC 8.8.X (build 2020.09) Suite

Concepts NREC, the world’s leading turbomachinery software, design, development, testing and manufacturing company is proud to announce the release of version 8.8 of its Agile Engineering Design System. This new release includes the first production version of the new OMNIS/Agile user interface.

Version 8.8 of the Agile Engineering Design System® and OMNIS/Agile Released

The 8.8 release has new capabilities in every module with a focus on making the software easier to learn and use, run faster, produce more accurate results, and expand the types of components that can be designed, optimized and manufactured. Among the new CAE capabilities in v8.8 are the introduction of the Aungier models for centrifugal compressor performance prediction, parametrized 3D geometry models and analysis of secondary flow passages, streamline visualization and integration with the HEEDS and Dakota optimizers.

Version 8.8 of Concepts NREC’s CAM software, MAX-PAC includes improvements to the barrel cutter strategies to allow faster finishing operations, a new post processor generator to allow users to customize APT and Gcode output files and faster calculations on multi-core workstations. In addition, version 8.8 now has multilanguage support, starting with the Chinese language pack coming soon.

The OMNIS/Agile release is a new user interface for the AXIAL software, for preliminary design of axial compressors and turbines based on NUMECA’s OMNIS user interface. OMNIS / Agile / AXIAL contains all of the powerful design and modeling capabilities in a much easier to learn and use interface that runs natively on Linux as well as Windows.

Version 8.8, including OMNIS/Agile/AXIAL, is available immediately to users on active Agile Product Support (APS).






The Agile Engineering Design System is an integrated suite of software modules for Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) specialized for turbomachinery. The system seamlessly transfers data between modules and enables our customers to optimize their designs based on the impact to cost, machining time, and performance.

Final designs can be easily imported into our industry-leading CAM software, MAX-PAC, to create efficient 5-axis machining strategies

Designing a turbofan is a huge challenge, but having the right tools will definitely help for an effective design and better communication between your development teams (Aero, Structural, Performance, Manufacturing, …). Check out this video where CAE Product Manager ThiagoEbel explores some of the design capabilities for an axial plus centrifugal compressor in a turbofan engine.


For over 60 years, Concepts NREC has led the turbomachinery industry in design, testing, manufacturing, and CAE and CAM software. Our team is committed to providing solutions that help our clients perform better.
