Modelling a wing
Modelling a wing
(OP)
Hi all,
I'm trying to model a wing in NX in prep for exporting as an STL for CFD simulations.
I have created files with the hub and tip aerofoil profiles loaded and the x and y co-ordiates taking into acount wing sweep and span. I have managed to get these loaded into NX as they should, however I cannot get the sweep to work to create the areafoil surface (I can get it to model a straight wing, but not one with sweep between the two profiles).
Can anyone give me a guide/ some advice on how to do this operation guys?
Many thanks
Dan
