well, there is a way to include the profile definition, but this will take some time. Actually I started this quite a while ago but forgot about it. Let me come back to you about this. Regarding your 2nd question, yes, there is a way as well. If I remember correctly the pitch is optimized to reduce KQ and keep KT. However, the final pitch distribution over radius is applied directly to the propeller and can be exchanged easily. I modified the feature for you. You will find an option to use your own custom pitch-to-diameter curve. The curve must be modelled in the z-plane, using x for the dimensionless radius (e.g. 0.2 -1) and using y for the pToD value.
If you have further question please do not hesitate to ask!
Best regards

Greetings,
I'm trying to modify wageningenBSeriesPropeller.fdb to 3 blades and small diameter D=0.05 m
but the program failure say can't find appropriate naca profile
