I've been trying to mesh an airfoil in ICEM and I've been struggling with the geometry.
I imported point data and drew a spline for the top and bottom surfaces. The spline came out all wavy and gave me some very funny Fluent results. Whats a better way to import airfoil geometry into ICEM? |

Just to answer this for future me: The spline tool in ICEM uses a b-spline tool. A better way to import airfoils is to use the design modeller tools to generate airfoil splines from excel data. Then export as a parasolid and read the parasolid into ICEM. |
