## 10.9. Tutorial 1: Blade Editing With Emphasis On Sketches, Layers, and Blade Comparison

This tutorial demonstrates many of the different ways to manually edit a blade in ANSYS BladeEditor, as well as how to use Blade Comparison mode to take a snapshot of the blade that you are editing. You will launch a BladeEditor model using data from a Vista CCD system. You will then use BladeEditor to manually edit the blade.

You are first going to set up the license correctly:

1. Open ANSYS Workbench.

2. In the ANSYS Workbench menu, select Tools > License Preferences.

3. In the License Preferences dialog box, click the Geometry tab.

4. If ANSYS BladeModeler is not the first license listed, then select it and click Move up as required to move it to the top of the list. Furthermore, you should select ANSYS DesignModeler in the list and set its value to 0 (which means “Don't Use”). This prevents DesignModeler from using an ANSYS DesignModeler license when an ANSYS BladeModeler license is not available.

5. Click OK to close the dialog box.
