Modeling a Wind Turbine Blade in Pro-E
Modeling a Wind Turbine Blade in Pro-E
(OP)
Hi all,
I am modeling the blades of a wind turbine in Pro-Engineer, but I dont have it any dimensions etc.
What I am doing is:
1. Simply extruding a cylinder for making it reference for a COS (curve on surface).
2. Making a COS through the Style Option.
3. Making a Surface sweep and simply giving it a thickess.
4. Extruding another cylinder for removing material from the 1st one. (I wanted the blade to be offset from the main shaft.)
I wanted to know that:
1. Is there any way I can make a Reference surface (as there are reference modes in the Sketching Option)?
2. Is there any better way to model this blade?
Awaiting replies.
Regards,
Khurram.

Check out the attached file, it was made in Creo: Pro5 so hopefully you can open it.
