Python script for parametric modeling of the airfoil section structure, such as C-beam and foam

Using Abaqus Script to Generate Airfoil Section and Interior Stucture

Oct 18, 2016, NUAA

• Code was write by Python 3.4 using Anaconda, but can also work under Python 2.7 interpreter.

• The module SectionBuilderSubroutine.pyc used in the main program AbaqusAirfoilSectionBuilder.py shall be placed in the Abaqus working path, for example,

  'F:\User\Documents\Work\Abaqus', in order to work properly. The path can be set in the GUI mode by clicking File->Set Work Directory .

• In the main script AbaqusAirfoilSectionBuilder.py, replace the input_file parameter with the full path of your input file, usually the airfoil data file.

• The input_file (airfoil data) should be a close curve points set.

• The control point D which be used to decide the position of the C-beam, shalled by modifed for airfoil with high curvature.
