airfoil surface
(OP)
hi there
i'm working on an imported airfoil surface in igs format.the surface curvature is somehow discontinous.i want to modify the surface to obtain a smooth surface preserving the original design.
i have tried to obtain several intersection curves using planes intersecting the surface, modifying the resulting curve using simplify curv,and finally lofting between intersection curves but the result is still unsatisfactory.
please help
thanks

Make sure your Image quality is up to, otherwise it will make the surface look more squared.

If you use the Fit Spline feature, you have control as to how tight the spline will "stick" to your under-lying sketch segments. A tighter spline will have smaller minimum radii and be less "rounded", but more accurately represent the segments beneath. The opposite is true for a more loose fit.

The other option, if its a surfaces, fix it up and knit them up to create a body, if its an imported body...just create planes at different points and use the section view to section at the plane, create sketches on those planes and convert the sketch entities.
