SoftInWay Inc.

As we gear up for Turbo Expo next week, we're throwing it back to the Space Propulsion Conference last month!

It was great connecting with so many engineers, hearing about the innovative projects you're working on, and discussing how AxSTREAM is helping support the future of space propulsion development.

If you're also headed to Turbo Expo, connect with our team at booth ! We're looking forward to meeting even more innovators operating in turbomachinery, propulsion, and energy.

🦇 Batman, a taco, and a lawyer walk into an engineering office...

Just another day at our office! Turbomachinery isn’t the only thing we take seriously, especially on Halloween.

Happy Halloween from all of us at SoftInWay! We hope your day is filled with spine-tingling fun and an un-boo-lievably large candy haul!

Let us know in the comments who you think had the best costume ⬇️

At SoftInWay, we know every engineering project is different, so your software licensing should be too.

With our Power Tokens Licensing Program, you can access the entire AxSTREAM platform on your terms, choosing from over 70 specialized modules across cycle analysis, flow path design, rotor dynamics, secondary flow, optimization, and more.

Engineering teams using Power Tokens have reduced licensing costs by up to 60%, all while maximizing flexibility and collaboration across projects. Instead of paying for multiple fixed licenses, your team can unlock any module you need, when you need it — keeping costs low and productivity high.

Whether you’re working on one design or a dozen, Power Tokens adapt to your workload, helping you cut costs, boost efficiency, and accelerate innovation.

One flexible license. Endless design possibilities.

Balancing Aerodynamics & Rotor Dynamics: A SoftInWay Consulting Project

When it comes to upgrading turbomachinery, you can’t redesign in a vacuum. Every change to the flow path or aerodynamic performance directly impacts rotor dynamics, stability, and reliability.

That’s why a holistic design approach, one that connects aerodynamic and rotor-bearing analysis, is essential.

In this consulting project, SoftInWay’s engineers worked with a client to upgrade a four-stage centrifugal compressor for higher flow capacity. Using AxSTREAM RotorDynamics, our team analyzed how the aerodynamic redesign affected the rotor-bearing system and ensured the machine’s stability and compliance with API 617 and 684 standards.

Our engineering process included:

✅ Creating a detailed digital model of the upgraded compressor in AxSTREAM.
✅ Assessing the interplay between aerodynamic forces and rotor-bearing response.
✅ Performing a bearing sensitivity study to evaluate key stability parameters.
✅ Redesigning the bearings to achieve optimal damping and stable operation.
✅ Validating the complete system through simulation to confirm API compliance.

This project illustrates why aerodynamics and rotor dynamics must evolve together, and how SoftInWay’s integrated design methodology helps engineers upgrade machinery with confidence, ensuring both performance and stability.

Every component matters, but true innovation comes from engineering the whole system.

Gas Turbine World recently spotlighted SoftInWay’s Holistic Design Process, which is a unified approach to energy and propulsion system development that connects every domain from cycle design to rotor dynamics, secondary flows, and cooling.

By treating machines as interconnected systems, not isolated components, engineers can expose hidden inefficiencies, predict real-world performance more accurately, and accelerate innovation from conceptual design to commercialization.

Small engine, big impact.

UAV Turbines set out to bring a new generation of high-performance microturbines to the UAV market, and turned to SoftInWay’s platform to make it happen. Check out this case study, where you can see how they utilized the software for custom compressor and turbine design, as well as full cycle analysis. They developed the Monarch 5: a high-speed (100,000+ RPM) engine designed for reliability, heavy fuel operation, low noise, and high efficiency.

The result was a major milestone. The Monarch 5 successfully powered a TigerShark UAV during its first flight at Griffiss Airport, flying quieter and smoother than comparable internal combustion systems.
