Changing an Airfoil file
Category: Model Building - Blades

Problem
I want to make some changes to the airfoil datasets. I have double clicked a line of the airfoil parameter set and entered new values, after saving this process I closed the window but after opening the window again the old values are still displayed.
Solution

1. Load the airfoil dataset that you wish to change

2. Select the row of data that you wish to alter and select Edit

(This then loads the data into the boxes at the bottom right of the window.)

3. Once you have edited the data select Add

4. Bladed will ask you if you want to overwrite existing data, select Yes

5. Save the modified aerofoil by clicking Save. Rename the aerofoil first if you do not wish to overwrite the previous dataset.
