wing coordinates

(OP)
I am new to CATIA V5 after spending 5 years in Solidworks.
I want to creat a curve by importing an excel sheet or text file with the NACA coordinates. How do I do this?

Any hints will help the cause.

Thanks

RE: wing coordinates


You can also set up a design table using the data contained in your spreadsheet or tab deliminted text document.  It's very easy to create either from Excel.

Excellent, thanks for your help

RE: wing coordinates

you re welcome  ;)

I would suggest you to analys the spline curve of your wing with porcupine analysis as the GSD spline function is not the best for smooth curve.

you might want to use free style 3DCurve...
