How to create a tapered 3D wing in Spaceclaim?

lpelizzari · October 27, 2022, 21:52

I want to create a wing with root chord 1.66m and tip chord 1.33m, with half wingspan 5.235m, with a NACA 4412 as the airfoil.

I tried to import both the points for the root and the tip separately, but this only ended up creating 2 different projects.

When I put them both in the same file, it worked, but I can't figure out how to finish it off with the wing surface.

If I try to put more than 2 sections in the same file (to maintain the shape of the airfoil along the wingspan), it won't import.

What do I do?

I solved it.

I generated both airfoils, tip and root, and closed them in order to make a surface.

Then I clicked this

icon, and joined them together. That's it.
