Hi Everyone,

I am trying to create an airfoil and then mesh it in gmsh. I really dont undestand how to import the coordinates into gmsh.

When i use the concatentate func of excel and try reading the file into gmsh i get an error.

Hope someone will tell me how to go about meshing the airfoil using gmsh.

Thanks

Unfortunately, there is no direct way to import airfoil points to Gmsh.
You can check this tutorial, which provides python code to copy the points.

I wrote a code using Octave long time but I cannot find it now but it was a very simple code.
