Reading a Fuselage Cross Section File in VSP 3.0.2

[Jon Gibbs]

To Whom it May Concern, 

I have had trouble reading the fuselage cross section ".fxs" files into VSP 3.0.2 -- both with custom files (made with the format on the wiki) and the example box file included in previous distributions. 

Is there a new format / procedure for importing customized cross sections in this new version of VSP?

Hi Jon,

I'm experiencing the same problem.

Did you find a solution and/or do you have a working file with a "bit-more-complex-than-a-box" section?

Thanks a lot,

Gio

No solution yet but haven't tried the latest version.  I ended up using sumo...

I just noticed the same problem reading in the old fxs file type.  Rob clarified that the file format has changed and sent me the new format as well as an example that I confirmed works.  You'll notice that the number of points information is no longer required.  The new format for V3 versions looks like this...

OPENVSP_XSEC_FILE_V1
1.0  0.0
0.0  -1.0
-1.0   0.0
0.0   1.0
1.0  0.0
