 Can't export points when importing CAD in Blade modelor (DesignModeler) Answer: The problem was with the split in the blade solid . This works when you Boolean/unite the two solids. You will also need to ensure the last profile in the Export Points is No for export, as there is no intersection because of the tip gap . This will export the blade. 1. How is blade tip represented in Turbogrid? the original blade is flat at tip, Does the blade tip (Turbogrid) reprensented by the last layer loop cut near the tip? if so, then the blade geometry has been changed a little at the tip. 2. how to set up the tip shroud gap distance? I noticed the blade is extends to the shroud in Turbogrid, but the LE (green line in zx plane/meriondional plane) and TE (red) doesn't not. 3. How is the shape of periodic Boundary ( auxillary view ) defined? In my mode, the shape of periodic Boundary is highly twisted (not good for mesing), while the example...

Blade profile -         Blade profile is on surface of revolution ( concentric cylindrical surface) -         Flat tip profile is not available by default How to generate a flat tip in Blade editor? BladeEditor generates profiles on surfaces of revolution , so it will not generate flat profile as you want. One option would be use the exiting export points and write out the crv files. You will then need to edit the profile.crv Then add a new profile or replace the last profile with a loop of points for the flat profile . You can then load this into TurboGrid and set the Shroud tip to the last profile. This will cut blade using the specified profile.
