[DesignModeler] Inaccurate drawing of Airfoil using 3d curve concept

ajitmenezes · May 16, 2014, 05:42

Hi, I'm new here, and new to using Ansys Workbench as well. I have tried to import a NACA4412 airfoil on the DesignModeller section using the 3D curve function and a .txt file (coordinates.txt, attached below). However, the curve generated has a few bumps and straight lines, and I am unsure of how to rectify it. Image of the issue in PDF is also attached below.

Would be really grateful for some help! Sorry if the question may be abit amateurish....

Worked just fine for me. Granted I am using 15.0

khoopes why this airfoil is open at the sharp end,how can I closed ? my problem is different,when I choose
Concepts-Surface form Edges

I get this error
Some selected edges failed to form closed loops

I am using this amazing site https://confluence.cornell.edu/displ...oil+-+Geometry

here is my airfoil

when I change firts and last line
1 1 1,00000 0,00000 0,00000
and last line

1 0

its closed,probably results will be effected but this small change can be negligible,isnt it?
