First you go to "Direct Foil Design", create a NACA0012 Foil there.
Then go to "XFOIL Direct Analysis". Here you create a Polar. Just click Polars->Define an Analysis. When you created the Polar you can run an analysis by clicking the "Analyse" Button on the right side. Then click...
sorry, i don't get your point. Just export any polar that you created in qblade. create a basic naca foil, analyse it and then export the polar and from this you can check which format you need. then create a spline foil and name it as the polat you want to import. then import the polar, this...
ok... you should export a polar from QBlade, then you see which format you need.
bring the polar in the right format and create a foil which has exactly the same name as the polar in the file that you created... then the polar should appear in qblade.
You can download the Guidelines from the download section, they explain the most basic functionalities. Otherwise have a look at the XFLR5 Guidelines, as they explain the Functionalities of XFLR (which is part of my software). Download the XFLR package at sourceforge, the Guidelines are included...
Hi there...
if it is of interest to anyone. I just completed a wind turbine blade design and simulation software fully integrated into the GUI XFLR5 of Mark Drelas XFOIL. If you want to try it out check:

Hey... i just finished my final thesis and completed a wind turbine blade design software based on the BEM and integrated in XFOIL, you might want to check it out! please cite me!
