## 10.10. Tutorial 2: Blade Editing With Emphasis On Camberline and Thickness Distributions

This tutorial demonstrates some of the features in ANSYS BladeEditor, with emphasis on editing the camberline and thickness distributions. You will launch a BladeEditor model using data from a Vista CCD system, make a few modifications to the blade in BladeEditor, and export the geometry for use in ANSYS TurboGrid. Additionally, the tutorial provides information on how to bring the geometry into ANSYS Meshing.

Note: Vista CCD is not supported on Linux platforms.

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.
