Hello everyone.
I'm working with a wing airfoil, the one in the pick.
I want to draw the chord of the airfoil and to do that, I need the most extreme point on the right of the leading edge, in order to connect the tail of the airfoil with the just cited point, drawing the chord.
There is a method to find the searched point?

I hope I've been clear.

Thank you all.

Nicola Menga.

How did you create the shape?

Hello Rob.
I used the "Joint" command to identify the intersections between a vertical plane (representing the ambient air) and certain surface bodies that represent the front section of the wing and the flap.

In the Fluent solver you can either export the xy plot of the edge or find the maximum x value. If that's DesignModeler (guessing from the colouring) if you turn the above into a sketch I think you can drag a point along the edge - might need to split the edge for that. Then pick the point.
