2.  Create lines and splines between keypoints.

  1. Main Menu:  Preprocessor
         -Modeling-Create
              -Lines-Lines
                   Straight Line
  2. Pick keypoints 1, 2, 5, 1 in this order   (keypoint 1 is at the origin)

Picking locations

  1. OK (in picking menu)

Use keypoints 2 through 5 to draw a spline defining the curved part of the wing.   ANSYS provides an option to define the orientation of an outward vector tangent at the first and last points on the spline.  Use this option to define the spline so that it has a slope of zero at the bottom of the wing and a slope of 0.25 at the top, as shown in the problem sketch.

  1. Main Menu:  Preprocessor
         -Modeling-Create
              -Lines-Splines
                   With Options
                        Spline thru KPs
  2. Pick keypoints 2, 3, 4, 5 in this order

Picking locations

  1. OK (in picking menu)
  2. Enter -1,0,0 for XV1, YV1, ZV1 
  3. Enter -1,-.25,0 for XV6, YV6, ZV6 
  4. OK
