Automatisation 360° Polars import (by python, batch or SIL)
Quote from Arno_drn on 5. September 2025, 14:56Hello David,
I would like to know if it is possible to automate the import of polars (5 airfoils x 31 polars already created), or do I have to do it one by one?
Thanks in advance,
Arno

The most straightforward approach is to import the polars directly through the GUI. If the files are already in the correct format, this should only take a few minutes.
Alternatively, QBlade supports importing polars from a WindIO YAML file. This format can include any number of polars and airfoils, allowing all of them to be imported at once. However, converting your polars into this format typically requires more effort than manual importing.
If you have a specific turbine definition and want to programmatically swap out polars, I recommend working with the text-based ASCII files that QBlade can export for each object.
Best regards,
David
