New version of Profili

[steve lewin]

Just in case Stefano misses RCGroups here's a message posted in several places today :

**************************************
I send this message to inform you that a new mayor version of Profili, 2.0, has been released.

Here are some of the news:

- Drawing of leading edge, trailing edge, spars etc
- Drawing of the foam cutting template
- One shot drawing of all the ribs of a trapezoidal o relliptical wing
- advanced filtering of the airfoils by thickness, camber etc
- 500 more airfoils added to the database (more then 2,200 now)
- 20 preprocessed polars for every airfoil in the database (20 different Re from 30,000 to 500,000), more then 500 hours of processing for my PC
- automatic process of the polars for new airfoils or Re
- New function to generate a new airfoil as a mix of two, you can also specify the mixing ratio. So you can generate all the airfoil you will find in a wing with different root and tips ones. Then you can verify the aerodynamic of your wing by generating the polars for the new airfoils...
- Airfoil libraries managing
- import export from-to .DAT file
- and more....

Visit the new web site of Profili by
http://utenti.lycos.it/profili2/
where you can have more info and download your version or order a CDRom.

best regards
Stefano

I just downloaded Profili and registered.

Is there a way to draw up the lower surface of the template? I've only had luck with the upper surface. Also, Steve, how about kerf compensation and curves for the LE transition like Compufoil employs?

Here's the wing I'm building for my 2003 SAE Lifter, done in Profili 2.1.
The shear webs.. are tall skinny spars.
The red lines would be erased for a formalprint of the structure.
Of course the bits and pieces nomenclature is added by a paint program to the image. (Paint Shop Pro 7.0) (( shameless plug!))

I can now answer my own question--in the template screen, just set "h" to a negative value to create the lower surface of the template.

I tried to get to the website but it says that it is deactivated:confused:

WHAT"S UP WITH THAT :)

It's moved again, this time to www.profili2.com

Grab it quick, who knows how long it will stay there.
