XFLR5 Help.

[wyowindworks]

Hey, gang. For some reason xflr5 isn't plotting any data on lift distribution graphs. I did the batch run for the airfoil. I entered the wing data and defined the polar analysis. I then ran the analysis for the wing. The Cl and Cd polars all plotted but the lift distribution graph remains blank. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Adam

Adam,

If every thing else worked, the only thing I can think of is the scale on the lift distribution graph is set so the curves are off the graph.

You should be able to select the angle of attack the graph is showing, in the box at the top right. To adjust the scale of the graph, try right clicking in the graph window, and selecting "Reset all graph scales".

What do you have for a scale on the vertical axis before you do that?

I tried the "Reset all graph scales" but that didn't work. It seems there isn't a plot. The "show curve" and line style/color are grayed out when I select the lift distribution graph.
