Extract 2D blade profile, including pitch, skew and rake

Recommended Posts

Dear all,

I am looking for a way to extract the 2D blade profile at a certain cylindrical cut, e.g. root section. It is important that chordlength, skew, rake, pitch, thickness and camber for the profile is represented. Is there a painless way of doing this (maybe via curve engine)?

 

Best Regards

Olof

HI Olof,

 

Have you tried the global function "bladeanalysis()"? If you have pressure side and suction side you can extract the above values automatically at a given set of radii.

 

Cheers

Hi Claus,

Thanks for the reply!

As I understand it, bladeanalysis() is for IGES-geometries? In my case I would like to display the root section of my blade design. The blade designs is defined by my own profile definition in a fCurveEngine (including camber, thickness, chord length) and a FGenericBlade with rake, skew and pitch.

 

Best Regards

Olof

Hey Olof,

 

If I understand your question correctly. You need to create an imagecurve and type in the source:

mycurveEngine.getCurve(t-position) 

mycurveengine = name of your FcurveEngine

t-position = number between 0 and 1 in your case 0

 

Best regards
