Hi everybody,I'm having problems importing an airfoil using the coordinates.. my coordinates file is:n1 1 0 0 0n1 2 0.004757 -0.0053143 0n1 3 0.0088222 -0.0078283 0n1 4 0.012758 -0.0098395 0n1 5 0.016622 -0.011566 0n1 6 0.020437 -0.013093 0n1 7 0.024216 -0.014464 0n1 8 0.027966 -0.015705 0n1 9 0.031692 -0.016834 0n1 10 0.0354 -0.017862 0n1 11 0.039091 -0.0188 0n1 12 0.04277 -0.019653 0n1 13 0.046436 -0.020428 0n1 14 0.050093 -0.021129 0n1 15 0.053742 -0.02176 0n1 16 0.057385 -0.022324 0n1 17 0.061022 -0.022824 0n1 18 0.064654 -0.023263 0n1 19 0.068283 -0.023642 0n1 20 0.07191 -0.023964 0n1 21 0.075535 -0.024229 0n1 22 0.079158 -0.024441 0n1 23 0.082782 -0.0246 0n1 24 0.086405 -0.024707 0n1 25 0.09003 -0.024765 0n1 26 0.093655 -0.024773 0n1 27 0.097283 -0.024733 0n1 28 0.10091 -0.024646 0n1 29 0.10455 -0.024513 0n1 30 0.10818 -0.024335 0n1 31 0.11182 -0.024112 0n1 32 0.11546 -0.023846 0n1 33 0.11911 -0.023536 0n1 34 0.12276 -0.023184 0n1 35 0.12642 -0.022789 0n1 36 0.13008 -0.022354 0n1 37 0.13374 -0.021877 0n1 38 0.13742 -0.02136 0n1 39 0.14109 -0.020803 0n1 40 0.14478 -0.020207 0n1 41 0.14847 -0.019571 0n1 42 0.15216 -0.018896 0n1 43 0.15586 -0.018183 0n1 44 0.15957 -0.017431 0n1 45 0.16329 -0.016641 0n1 46 0.16701 -0.015812 0n1 47 0.17074 -0.014946 0n1 48 0.17447 -0.014042 0n1 49 0.17822 -0.013101 0n1 50 0.18197 -0.012122 0n1 51 0.18573 -0.011105 0n1 52 0.18949 -0.01005 0n1 53 0.19327 -0.0089586 0n1 54 0.19705 -0.007829 0n1 55 0.20084 -0.0066617 0n1 56 0.20465 -0.0054566 0n1 57 0.20845 -0.0042136 0n1 58 0.21227 -0.0029325 0n1 59 0.2161 -0.0016131 0n1 60 0.22 0 0nIt seems to me that it respects all the rules to be correctly imported into design modeler but each time I try it gives me the following errors:nPoints in Coordinates File are outside valid rangen3D Curve operation failed (self-intersecting?)nnDoes anybody have any guess, I would really appreciate it! Thank you!n

Ok, solved it ... my ansys wanted the commas instead of the dots ... n

That'll be a language effect: 1,000 is one thousand or one point zero zero zero depending on your location. Something to be aware of when you graduate (that and all those dodgy US units....). n
