[DesignModeler] How to change the chord length of an airfoil in ansys geometry?

kugrad · May 4, 2012, 07:57

I've been given the coordinates of a particular airfoil in notepad format and I start off by uploading them in the geometry and creating a surface. Please help me with changing its chord length. I tried inputting a dimension but that wouldn't work.

Thanks a lot!!!!

Best thing is to change the file, rather changing the geometry in DM. Open the file in excel and change the chord length accordingly and keep the format untouched.
