## 5.2. Data Review and Edit

The input data can be specified on the Aerodynamics and Geometry tabs of the Vista Axial Fan Design dialog box that is invoked from the Meanline cell. The input data can also (or alternatively) be specified in the Properties view of the Meanline cell in the Vista AFD system.

The input properties of the Meanline cell are shown in the following table.
