@snellow were you able to resolve this issue, I am encountering the same problem?

[snellow]

I follow your steps exactly but when I got to browse-->{myairfoil}.txt I get an error message saying "File name entered was invalid, not found, locked or an incompatible type." Can you help me?

mr azim.

after doing the base extrude to 0.20mm (3:50), I can't see my airfoil as a solid body....

all I can see is that i have two curves with a distance of 0.20mm.

can you help me on this...

Thank you very much
