How to import an airfoil geometry

Hi!
I have installed salome-meca 3.2.6. I want to import an airfoil geometry but I don't know how. I have a text file with the biaxial coordinates of hundreds of points. Obviously I don't want to insert all the coordinates manually. How can I do it? I don't know if this is a silly question. The fact is that I'm not so good in using both this program and linux.
Thank you for your patience.

Hi!

Currently I'm looking for that answer too, I've seen that you wrote this too many years ago but if you're still using this software it'll be helpful if you could help me with the solution of your problem.

I hope you or anyone see it.

Hi,

assuming that your airfoil data is saved in two-column (X,Y) format like e.g.

AG24 Bubble Dancer DLG by Mark Drela
1.000000 0.000312
0.994048 0.001043
0.982038 0.002630
0.968488 0.004486
0.954647 0.006421
0.940769 0.008378
...

you could write a small python script to import the data.

Hope that helps,
Dirk

Hi Dirk!

It's great to know that you're interested on helping me, thank you very much. (Y)

My airfoil data is saved in a .txt document in two-column, do I have to save it in a different way?

Even-though I wrote the script you sent me in the python area, but it showed me an error after I wrote the 7th line, so I'm wondering if you could help me with that please: here is the code that I wrote and the error that it showed me:

>>> import geompy
>>> f=open('NACA0012', 'r')
>>> data=f.readlines()[1:]
>>> f.close()
>>> pts=[map(float,line.split()) for line in data]
>>>
>>> i=0
>>> for x in pts:
... geompy.addToStudy(geompy.MakeVertex(x[0], x[1], 0), 'pt'+str(i))
File "<input>", line 2
geompy.addToStudy(geompy.MakeVertex(x[0], x[1], 0), 'pt'+str(i))
^
IndentationError: expected an indented block
>>> i+=1

I wish you the best!
