PC-DMIS Blade needs support files to analyze airfoil sections of blade. To process a single Blade, you need these four blade files:
Nominal
Flavor
Tolerance
Report
There are other support files for specific purposes:
Create a Blade Support File
To create a Flavor file, click Create | Flavor File.
Similarly, you can create all other support files.
Edit a Blade Support File
To edit a Flavor file, click Edit | Flavor File.
Similarly, you can edit all other support files.
Support File Names
PC-DMIS Blade stores the support files in sub-folders of the BLADE folder. The support files must have the same name as the sub-folder but with the appropriate extensions.
All the files that are specified in the Report file define the analysis of a blade. These files (Nominal, Tolerance, and Flavor) open according to the names specified in the file. So, the names in the file must have entire path, or the files should reside in the same directory as the Report file.
