Tutorials

In this folder you can find a collection of useful tutorials in order to understand the principles and the potential of BladeX.

Tutorial 1

Here we show how to prepare a blade 2D sectional profile through generating legacy and custom foils.

Tutorial 2

Here we show how to proceed with preparing a blade 2D sectional profile by performing several transformation operations on the generated foils.

Tutorial 3

Here we show how to prepare a blade 3D sectional profiles by applying all the transformations due to the radial distribution of the blade parameters.

Tutorial 4

Here we show how to deform a blade and its parametric curves by using a parameter file.

Tutorial 5

Here we show how to initialize a blade starting from its parameters, either using the british convention or the american one for the thickness generation.

Tutorial 6

Here we show how to deform a blade by deforming only its local (thickness, camber) parameters, and/or its global (rake, skew, etc) parameters.

More to come...

We plan to add more tutorials but the time is often against us. If you want to contribute with a notebook on a feature not covered yet we will be very happy and give you support on editing!
