Importing NACA0021 airfoil data into CFX

dougie · January 17, 2011, 12:21

Hi,

I have created data file in Excel with the coordinates for a NACA 0021 and would like to import these points into CFX. I have over 100 points therefore do not want to enter the values into CFX individually.

Any ideas?

thanks

concept-3D curve then select the data file which should be txt format.

Most solid modelling packages (including design modeller) have a method of importing lots of points and putting a spline or some other curve through it. Read the documentation of your solid modelling package.
