How to define different densities of curve


---

Recommended Posts

Hi,
I am learning to create proper curve for my turbine blade, most likely I will use low density at both CCV & CVX sides, and high density at LE & TE sides. The way I know is, to create a very high density curve first, and then make few copies, play around with points for each of them, and finally in feature window, to merge them all in one curve by using read nominal/ nominal geometry manipulation/read nominal values. In this way the point pitches are same in each copies. 2662_df10e53192597ee4c6d9f584eb8b3b48.png
Is there any other way to get a smooth pitch curve? Is there any setting to define a certain value for pitch to desecrating or increasing as blow? this smooth curve was created by previous programmer but I do not know how he got it. Your helps are much appreciated.

Hi Franco, have you tried playing with the chord height? It's under Nominal Geometry Manipulations -> Modify Nominals in the feature window, in the Tab "Number". Adjusting the chord height will smoothly space out the vectors in flat sections of the curve, and decrease the spacing in sections where the curve is changing direction quickly.

That would also work, but there wouldn't be a smooth transition between sections, which is what I think OP is looking for?

Thank you Melanie!
This is exactly what I am looking for and it will save me a lot of time to make a new curve. Learning something new is really great.
