Having rouble just generating a simple HAWT
Hi
I am unable to generate a design for even a very simple HAWT. I can get an airofoil section on screen but trying to take the design any further and I get messages like-
Missing objects,
-No HAWT Blade in Database
-No 360 Polar in Database
-No Polar in Database
I do not see an option anywhere to add databases into the project. I have watched all the video tutorials and read the instructions but I am completely at a loss. Please help. I am using QBlade CE v2.0.8.6_beta unix on Ubuntu.
Thanks
Aaron
Hello Aaron,
to create a rotor blade design in QBlade, you need both an airfoil object in the database and a 360° polar object.
The 360° polar object is essential because it provides the aerodynamic coefficients required for blade optimization and simulation.
To generate a 360° polar object, you must first simulate or import a polar and then extrapolate it to cover the full 360° range.
The top toolbar in QBlade is structured to reflect this sequential workflow.
BR,
David
