Dear all,

i want to increase the number of points in my Cp distribution to capture a potential peak in the L.E.

i already tried to : 

1. Changing the number of Planar Slices regarding the Y axis, but the software crashes when i start the simulation with this change.

2. Changing the number of Y-slices in VSPAero : no difference

Thanks in advance,

PS : i dont want to change my clustering because i already tuned it. if i put more clustering in the front it will changes completely the curve of my CP distribution and i dont have the CL that im supposed to have.

The resolution shown in the Cp slice is directly related to the tessellation around the airfoil (Num_W) and the LE / TE clustering.  It has nothing to do with those other options.
