ProE Airfoil Extrusion? How?
ProE Airfoil Extrusion? How?
(OP)
How can I extrude (or cut for that matter) an airfoil shape in Pro/E? I set it up by creating datum points from a text file (airfoil coordinates). I then create a curve through the points. Easy enough. But when I try to extrude the airfoil shape, I cannot seem to dimension it properly (read at all) in order for Pro/E to define the section.
Can anyone help me with this? Thanks. -CBB

Each curve has a point no. x y z co ordinate with the last point of one curve being the start pont of the next and like wise with the last curve the end point is the start point of the first curve. Multiple sections can be used spaced out according to your requirements
Pro/e will read this file directly and therefore can be used to produce datum curves surfaces or soilds from the file. We use this format to machine our blades using pro/nc

protrusions can be created by feature create solid protrusion from file
curves ans surfaces are created the same way
hope this helps
