The paper describes the development of a parametric 3D CAD assembly of a small-size GTD combustion chamber. Based on the chamber model, we derive the internal CAD volume of the designed single-burner sector. The created parametric models are auto-adjustable by an external excel spreadsheet controlling their parameters. The 3D combusion chamber assembly and the single-burner sector can further be used for optimizing the geometry of flame tubes and nozzles, arranging the sustainable fuel burning space, for the spatial distribution of air flows, and for other design tasks.

The paper discusses a way to minimize the machine time to debug a control program. We propose performing most of the debugging on a 3D copy of a CNC metal-cutting machine. We herein present an example of how a compressor disk turning control program could be created and verified by a CTX alpha 500 virtual machine using Sinumerik 840D CNC system.
