How to Connect Points in Design Modeler to make airfoil profile (2D)
 
1 Attachment(s)
hi..buddies

I am having problem to connect points in design modeler to form up airfoil profile.

There are 200 points in total and i feel that connecting the points by 'line' manually is not proper way to create airfoil profile.

Are there any better and smarter method to connect all points?

I have attached my model for better perception.

pls help suggest.

Try putting a spline through the points.

I must admit that I do my airfoil work in Solidworks where you get much better control over the shape.

use the 3d curve from points option. works like a charm

It does not, alas. My geometry contains a lot of points and DM struggles to draw a line that goes through each and every point. The result is an inaccurate line with lots of rough edges.
Someone knows how to solve that?
