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?

Firstly, thank you for your reply. Since I am new to pointwise, I have a lot of problems, but this time I couldn't solve it.
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.

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.

Thank you for your help. I updated pointwise and made the airfoil drawing to a planar surface and saved it in "SLDPRT" format. In this way I was able to open the airfoil geometry at pointwise.

thanks man , it helped me

One suggestion is to enable the "multi-normals" option when using T-Tex for meshing. This option helps in capturing the flow features accurately near sharp edges and corners, improving the quality of the mesh in those regions.
