I searched this site and many other sites, but could not find the solution to the problem.
The problem is that while importing the 2D airfoil geometry I drew in SolidWorks to pointwise, it does not accept the file. I've tried many extensions but it still doesn't work. for example, pointwise has a small program for naca profiles. but I want to import the wing profile to pointwise after drawing 2d from solidwork There is a 2d drawing of the mh114 profile in the pictures and the errors given by pointwise |

Please attach the zipped solidworks file that is failing to load for you.
Which Pointwise version are you using? Please read READ FIRST: How to give enough info to get help |

I cannot import the 2D airfoil profile I drew in solidwork to pointwise program as database. The programs I use; solidworsk version: 2018, pointwise version: v18.2r2 I am adding the airfoil file for the same drawing but different extensions. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aoC...ew?usp=sharing |

I have your files. In the future, please use ZIP archives. Not everyone has access to RAR (like me).
First, you are using a very OLD version of Pointwise. Please update your installation. That said, it appears the SLDPRT file is rejected by the CAD reader. I tested it on older and the newest version of the reader. It fails the same way for all versions. I will need to log a bug with the CAD reader vendor in France. May I share this file with our vendor in France? I also noticed you included other X_t, x_b, and IGS files. These all loaded correctly. Can you use those? |

I noticed the airfoil has a sharp trailing edge. This may give you meshing problems.
If using T-Tex to create the mesh, turn on multi-normals. Consider modify the TE to make it blunt. |
