Hi,
I just have a quick question regarding the option to load a fuselage
cross section file (*.fxs). I haven't been able to come across any
example files so I was wondering if anyone would know what this file
needs to contain in order to load properly. Ideally I will be using a
program other than VSP to generate the cross sections of a blended
wing body type aircraft, which would then be passed into VSP in order
to create meshes for various aerodynamic analyses. Does anyone know
how to create the *.fxs file? Thanks!

Matt,

Please check in the fuselage directory from the download. There
should be a 'box.fxs' example fuselage cross section file. It is the
most simple example possible, but it should give you an idea of the
file format.

I know others have more complex examples. I'll ask around to see if
they can share some more with you.
