Description

Very simple to use, an existing construction line on a sketch need to be selected, then the file from which to generate the airfoil is selected. You can choose to have the airfoil name added as text on the sketch.

Features:

  • Use an existing sketch line as a chord reference for the profile. Can be of any length, at any angle with horizontal.
  • Accept CSV files, with either comma or semi-colon as a delimiter.
  • Accept DAT files, either in the Selig format or the less common Lednicer format
  • For Dat files, the name of the Airfoil can be added to the sketch, if desired.
  • Leading edge is always where the line started to be drawn.

A propos de cette version

Version 1.2, 19/09/2024
File dialog bug fixed, inverted profile fixed when line drawn from right to left, file dialog open on the existing profils directory.

  • Solution to: "cannot access local variable 'filename' where it is not associated with a value"
    João Peterson Scheffer | juillet 13, 2024 Téléchargement vérifié (Qu'est-ce que c'est?)

    The Addin is pretty great, simple and easy to use but the developer doesn't seen to be a professional developer as simple bug was left in the code. Still, pretty good work!

     

    The fix is pretty simple for users and for the developer. Go to: "C:\Users\YOURUSER\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\ApplicationPlugins\AirfoilSketchFromFile.bundle\Contents\AirfoilSketchFromFile.py".

     

    Open the file in a text editor, and then edit the file by simply erasing line 175, an 'else' statement and removing one tab form the 3 lines below it.

     

    The code before loks like this:

     

     if originSP.x > originEP.x:                
                    translationMatrix.translation = endPoint.asVector()
                else:                                
                    filename = dlg.filename
                    extension = os.path.splitext(filename)[1][1:]
                    csv = extension.casefold() == 'csv'

     

    And after:

     

                if originSP.x > originEP.x:                
                    translationMatrix.translation = endPoint.asVector()
                    
                filename = dlg.filename
                extension = os.path.splitext(filename)[1][1:]
                csv = extension.casefold() == 'csv'

    Works 50% of the time. You never know when after constructing a complicated construction line, if the airfoil will actually produce or cause an error. I get the same error as the review below me.

    Kacper Pawlowski | mars 20, 2024

    Unfortunately no, my workaround is to produce an airfoil whenever it works and then use the move/scale command to position it in place where I want.

  • Brilliant but can be improved
    Kaveh Hosseini | mai 17, 2023 Téléchargement vérifié (Qu'est-ce que c'est?)

    I absolutely love this little add-in and have been using it extensively. Thank you very much Le Bear CNC for making it available, it's really nice. The only limitation is the directionality. If I draw a line from left to right versus right to left, everything changes. So for example, if I am in Fusion's "Left" view with Y pointing left and Z pointing up, I must draw my line going from +Y (right) to -Y (left). If I do the opposite, it gives me an incomprehensible error. This is not properly explained. I guess the workaround is to always have an airfoil sit in a separate component and then scale and assemble it where you actually want it with the proper incidence angle, dihedral, etc.

    Using this tool significantly sped up my workflow. I am currently working on aerospace projects, and as a software engineer I appreciate a well-written tool. This tool does exactly what it says on the tin and in my experience it works without any bugs.

    I have the same issue

    Kale Macormic | janvier 08, 2022

    I am also having the same issue intermittently. Most of the time I get this same error, but a few times it worked as expected. It must be some edge case.

    宣道 河上 | janvier 20, 2022

    I have the same problem. Somtime it works but almost every time it fails with the message. I want to know the reason why.

    Kirill Senukov | janvier 30, 2022

    ..., "If the cook does not lie to us...," then such a message appears when the chord of the profile is indicated by the "usual" line. When I change a line to "construction," there is no such message.

    Joonas Hint | mars 21, 2022

    It only accepts airfoils in left and right positions in sketch. You need to draw the line down the middle. If you draw from left to right you will get this.

    Bonjour,

    Effectivement , l'application ne fonctionne plus et c'est vraiment dommage.

    C'est regretable qu'elle disparaisse avec la dernière mise à jour. Si utile pour travailler sur les profils et elle rendait un fier service.

    A souhaiter vivement que les développeurs puissent entendre notre SOS . . . .

    Bernard Marie Grosperrin (Editeur) | décembre 03, 2020

    La mise en jour est maintenant disponible.


  • It worked before, but...

    This is a great tool, but it does not work with the latest Version of fusion360. I pay for my version of Fusion360 and it would be nice if it worked again...

    Update available now. It does work again.

  • Great airfoil add-in for Fusion
    Jeff Thier | février 18, 2019 Téléchargement vérifié (Qu'est-ce que c'est?)

    If you need to import airfoil data to your Fusion design, this is the tool to use!
    As intended, this add-in reads and imports any properly formatted airfoil DAT files as a spline to your sketch; Which is much more elegant and convenient than a series of lines segments.
    The second great thing is that, it scales and aligns the airfoil to the selected construction line during the import. Which means that the airfoil comes at the right dimension and with the right angle (provided you selected a properly dimensioned construction line).
    The only cons, is that as others mentionned, the airfoil is sometimes drawn inverted. (I guess it has something to do with the coordinates system when parsing). It takes no time to fix the sketch by mirroring the profile around the construction line. Maybe this can be fixed in a future version


  • Promising features, wish it would work with my .dats
    Harper Abbot | février 13, 2019 Téléchargement vérifié (Qu'est-ce que c'est?)

    Generates a flawed spline (contains curvature errors, etc) and seems to have chosen only a few of the points contained in the airfoil .dat files.  The files work with the other Fusion airfoil plugin. 

    Bernard Marie Grosperrin (Editeur) | février 22, 2019

    Could you give me a link where I could download your .dat files? Which one of the different standards are they following?

  • Very useful, but I have this nasty bug with V1.0
    Fabien Gagné | décembre 30, 2018 Téléchargement vérifié (Qu'est-ce que c'est?)

    We can't specify the direction of the airfoil. Sometimes it is right, other times the plugin is stubbornly stuck reversed, with the leading edge pointing aft :(

    Please add a checkbox option to reverse the direction.

    Here's a video that shows the bug https://youtu.be/DjMTnINHLK4" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/DjMTnINHLK4

    Bernard Marie Grosperrin (Editeur) | février 22, 2019

    A simple miror will help, here.... Now, I agree it would be better if it was always consistent. Once I have some free time, I may look to make a version 2 with this corrected.

  • Best airfoil addin for Fusion 360
    Bernard Marie Grosperrin | juin 30, 2018

    Clearly, ability to draw an airfoil on an existing sketch, first selecting the cord, allow to make a very precise wing, with proper angles where needed. 

    A BIG plus!
