How to import Airfoil coordinates from Excel to CATIA V5?

Hellooo, so in this video we will see how to import points or coordinates of complex curves like airfoils from MS Excel to CATIA V5 in just 5 steps !

While doing this you need to download a special Excel file named GenerativeShapeDesign_SplinefromExcel.

This tutorial is great and it worked for my R21 catia release, but in R28 version is not working. After i click "ok" in macro, it shows up a table writing:
"Microsoft Visual Basic for Aplication
License information for this component not found. You do not have an appropriate license to use this functionality in the design environment."
Please do you know which license is required for this operation ?

Thank you very much. There is a very important detail not precise in the video: THE Generative Xls file MUST BE in the same emplacement as the CATIA file. If not, the macro will display an error and fail to import points to CATIA. This happened to me, I have understood the problem later. I share the idea with whose are concerned by this problem.

WOW ! You are monster ! Awesome work, Thanks a lot ! I have CATIA v5 R30. All works perfect !!!

[soryegetun]

thx so much awesome explanation! I was using spline and linking all of the points before watching this video :D

I m getting object doesn't support this property or method, what to do?

I want to trim a specified portion of the imported airfoil in Catia but the trim option seems not working(nor the eraser)....any idea what to do as I need to put a stepping on the aerofoil for analysis

is there a way to commect all the points with lines instead of sp;ine?

[luiscicerone]

Dear Jay, I have a problem: on the aforementioned website to have the coordinates of the airfoils, the X and Y coordinates are coming together, in the same cell (example: 100.957, -0.9587). How do you make the coordinates come in different cells? Thanks in advance for your time.

Is there a way to modify the script and allow for more than just 500 points to import at once? I am looking to import around 350, 000 points

Can you show me how to create a marco and then put the command into CATIA, please?

[abhilashm]

Sir how can I important the airfoil as an angle with respect to y axis?

[frankstinson]

I am trying to import this airfoil to ansys from catia after did some modification, should I fill the profile and import these as an surface to ansys to do make cfd analysis??

[Yelon]

hello, im face an issue. I am able to import the geometry to catia V5 but not the points along with spline. pls help

[evansmichelo]

How do you get to see these points after running macros?

[englishhsilgne]

Sir I am create a part in part design but this part I want to transfer to DMU kinematics but the part are not transfer . when I open DMU kinematics New Page are open and I see the windows options that time this part are see but that part I am not worked

[sathishecs]

When I run Macros, a 'Microsoft Visual Basic' dialog box with a message "Object doesn't support this property or method". Can anyone help???

[duartepereira]

I have been getting a "type mismatch" error in the exel, no idea What's refering to

[riadelhamoud]

i would like to know how you do a solid in the last part of the video ???

In naca profile tools where is the option to download the coordinates

[MegaMirza]

sir can you help me please, for the "2" option i cant put curve in catia, it says "System Error & H80004005 (-2147467259). Unspecified error"
