How to import Airfoil coordinates to ANSYS Fluent Design Modeler

Hello my fellow engineers!
Today we will see how to import airfoil coordinates from Excel to ANSYS Fluent Design modeler or Spaceclaim too.
After importing, you can then extrude it to make a wing and do a structural or FSI analysis OR you can extrude it as a surface to carry out 2D steady or transient simulations to study lift and drag characteristics.
We will do that in my next video ;)

To import the coordinates into ANSYS, I have divided the procedure into 3 simple steps -
00:00 - Getting Airfoil coordinates
00:40 - Making ANSYS compatible file
2:14 - Importing coordinate file to ANSYS

finally someone told the trick. equaling decimal places for X, Y, Z. Thanks a lot. The rest of the video contenders don't tell that and I always get an error, frustrating!!!

when i need to creat the 3D curve, i select one point, then the following point but it gives me error :" the curve can't be self_intersected"

Hey I tried it but the coordinates are not visible after importing successfully. They are visible only when the points option in the tree is selected. What should I do?

Bro part 2 plz upload ASAP...practical examination is coming on the way

[kwonkuhoon]

thank you! When I tried it, up to 3 decimal places were created normally. However, more than 4 decimal places are not created due to a coordinate system error.

It says "invalid point selection. The curve would become self-intersecting." How do i fix this?

I want to read points in design modeler and then work on them in sketching mode. How is it possible. Kindly advise. Thanks

if it doesn't work, change the dots to commas

[adrianotarantola]

when i save form airfoil tools the exel, the coordinates x and y are in one column. how split these and get compatible to ansys? i can't copy and paste all cordinates... there is maybe a exel fucntion?

Hello,

0 point generated for me. I've changed dots and commas but still not working.

[furkan.bayhan]

I couldn't import coordinates to Ansys. I am taking reading coordinates file error. How can I fix this problem? I did everything as you do without jumping.

I AM DONING MY PROJECT SO I NEED HELP

[dkadayinthailand]

still such a waste of time. isn't there a program that can convert it automatically?
