Import RTZT BladeGen Files

[Jörg 29]

Hi together,

Please find attached a feature definition which imports rtzt-files i.e. meanline data (camber line / thickness definition via r, theta, z, normal thickness) of a blade. This feature might not be complete and possibly does not consider any available option. But I think it is a nice example in order to demonstrate how you can write your own e.g. proprietary import and export routines in CAESES.

How to use: Just put the feature definition in your application data directory > friendship > features. Then, it will be directly available in the GUI (see the screenshot).

 

UPDATE July 2016: Please see the latest post below for an updated version of the feature definition, it comes with a small improvement.

 

Cheers
Joerg

There is a problem with it 

 

Thanks

Hi Moises,

 

please find attached a revised version of the feature. I added a few lines at the beginning of the code:

 if(!(file))   break()    endif

I am guessing CAESES "crashed" on your machine (in my case it doesn't crash but runs into an infinite loop which gets stopped by CAESES automatically after 10000 loops) because after creating the feature the input file is not set. The code lines above are helping to avoid this infinite loop.

 

I hope that solves your problem.

 

If not, let me know.

 

Cheers

 

Matthias
