HI.
I am trying to add flaps to s1223 airfoil I have imported.
I have sized the airfoil to 6.8 inches and want to make flaps at a distance of 1.3 inches from end of airfoil,at an angle of 6 degree.
One way that I have done is I have taken a snapshot of the part needed to be cut,then trim all the rest of airfoil i.e the last 1.3 inches of it.
Then I have imported the picture,tilted it to 6 degrees and then traced the picture using "spline" tool.
BUT this method is not a very appropriated method
Hence I request anyone to please tell a more appropriated method.
Thank You
If you sketch the airfoil and flaps as one continuous loop of entities, fully defined, then sketch the lines and gap and trim entities between the 2 parts (double check any relations or dimensions aren't shared between the 2 groups of entities) you could define it so that the flap can pivot how you want. Or you could look into blocks or sketch blocks to perform this function.
