Hi Thomas, thank you for your nice feedback. Yes it's a php-based application which creates input files for a fortran-solver (calculates the blade performance, geometry and orientation). The results are postprocessed with a python-skript, which uses pythonocc on an opensuse 10-system to create a step file of the rotor blade. I didn' t choose the "smooth"-option for the interpolation algorithm because of the extended calculation time (up to 10 minutes, depending on the no. of airfoil sections.)
Next step could be an automated meshing and fe-calculation of the geometry and of course the development of enhanced pre- and postprocessing possibilities. But that's - like you mentioned - future of CAD or web-based product simulation and CAE... Stay tuned, Tobias www.calcing.de Am Montag, 5.
