Hello, I have designed a wind turbine blade by connecting 17 airfoils with varying chord lenghts together. I would like to know if there is a way in solidworks to just enter the number of airfoils, their respective chord lenghts and angle of rotation and solidworks will automatically do it for you.
Help please
Neat idea, but no, SolidWorks doesn't have specialized tools for creating propellers and turbines.
For that you want to use a specialized CAE application which will export to STEP, IGES or another geometry format for import into SolidWorks.
I hunted around for a couple of minutes and found this program:

See if that will help you
