How to create a <name>.ibl file

Hi folks,
i am still trying to create an axial fan blade with the blend function.
I already have created a *.sec file but this is not able to be used
in the blend function.
I need to have an *.ibl file.
But how do i get such a file ??
Can anybode give me a hint ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Haiko,

a *.ibl file is just a text file that contains points in x y z
coordinates (separated by space or tab). Refer to the manuals to see the
structure. Or create some datum points and export them - then you
also'll see the structure.

But why would you need that? Instead of creating a blend, why don't you
model your blade with surfaces first. You have the sec-file for
different radii. Connect those splines with a surface, close top and
bottom and then create a surface with #use quilt. Worked for us.
