Pieters:A few hours ago I sent out the message below with 3 small files attached. If anyoneis interested in seeing the files, let me know and I will post them to thephoto section. I can also email them to you.JohnPieters:If you're interested in looking at my early efforts to get a Piet rib into a CADfile read on, otherwise trash this message.Earlier this year someone published the coordinates for the Piet rib. As luck wouldhave it, I kept the coordinates but not the name of the person posting them.Tonight I finally got around to converting the coordinates into a format acceptableto rib design software I have been using for model aircraft design.(It handles ribs up to 11 feet in size.) That software also creates DXF files,the CAD interchange format. I plugged the Piet DXF file into AutoCAD 2000 andnow have a real CAD file. I have attached these files for you. Don't know ifthere is much interest.File 1: PIETCFWN.TPL Created using SoarSoft Software's CompuFoil. This "TPL" fileis a type created by this application. I provide it in case someone out therehas this software.File 2: PIETRIB.DXF Created using software above. It is described as the standardCAD interchange or exchange format.File 3: PIETRIB.DWG Created using AutoCAD 2000.Please note that the leading edge looks a little sloppy. I can't tell if it's theCompufoil software or perhaps the coordinates. Maybe someone can re-identifythe original contributor. Also note I have made no attempt to add the internalrib parts and won't get into it until I am more comfortable with the coordinates.Regards,JohnJohn Joyce9 Sylvia RoadNorth Reading, MA 01864978.664.3578John Joyce9 Sylvia RoadNorth Reading, MA 01864978.664.3578________________________________________________________________________________
