Trimming an imported coordinate aerofoil

      Hi,

      I would like to be able to trim an imported Aerofoil, so i can place a cylinder at the leading edge. However as it isn't a sketch I've created, i cannot seem to trim it. Any suggestions?

      Can you please provide more details on the question? 
      What file are you importing in Fluent? Are you trying to trim the geometry in Fluent?

        Hi, i am importing a 2d aerofoil from some coorindates into workbench geometry. I am then creating a sketch so i can draw a circle, and then want to trim the imported aerofoil.

      Okay. So after importing the geometry into Workbench geometry you can open/edit it using Ansys Discovery. There you can easily trim the geometry and sketch new shapes according to your requirements.

        Ive opened up discovery from workbench but cannot see my geometry. Should it just appear?
