help with airfoil

July 24, 2002, 21:54

Hi,

I have just started using CFX5.5 and lam having a problem creating a surface for an airfoil. The problem is that l tried splitting the airfoil into two curves through the spline method to create a surface but lam getting a warning that there are two degenerate edges in the surface. Which cause problems later when meshing. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Hi Kristov, Have a look in the meshing documentation. There's an explanation of degenerate edges in there. Michael
