The following information can be displayed in the blade edges dialog using the "Additional views" button:

Informational values

The Info panel represents information of the designed blade profile:

Throat area
Smallest cross section between 2 neighboring blades

Throat distance spanwise
Throat distance: smallest distance between 2 neighboring blades at every span

LE Throat distance: smallest distance between 2 neighboring blades at every span at leading edge

TE Throat distance: smallest distance between 2 neighboring blades at every span at trailing edge

3D-Preview

3D model of the currently designed blades as well as surfaces of hub and shroud and mean surfaces.

Frontal view

The Frontal view represents the designed blades in a frontal view, including diameters  dH und d2.

Furthermore the smallest cross section between 2 neighboring blades is displayed.

Blade passage area

Area that is approximately perpendicularly flown through and formed by hub, shroud and two neighboring blades.

Blade to blade

Two neighboring blades in m-t-co-ordinates. In the display options the appearance of the following features can be toggled on/off:

hub and shroud profiles,

hub and shroud meanlines,

throat distance: shortest distance between the blades at hub and shroud,

LE&TE throat distance: shortest distance between the blades at leading and trailing edge of hub and shroud.

Profile distance

[axial machines only]

Distance of two neighboring blades in m-t-co-ordinates. For axial machines with a coaxial meridian this gives a good impression of the de facto distance distribution.
