    Hi

    I need to model an impeller using a table of coordinates of the
    centerline of the vanes. table colums are "R" "THETA" "Z" &
    "thickness". Anyone have any idea or a design table that has already
    done this?

    thanks
    Gary

    This shouldn't be difficult, Gary, depending on how complex the profile
    of the vanes needs to be. I have an impeller design in which the vanes
    are created from a loft between two ellipses. It would be quite easy to
    create a Design Table to vary the profile (angle, thickness, center
    location, etc.). If you want me to create one for it and send it to ya
    just email me or reply to the post and be a little clearer about your
    variables. I understand THETA and "thickness", but I'm not sure about R
    and Z. You can find a valid email for me on my Web site, or just
    unMUNGE the address in the header.

    Thanks Sporkman

    One of my coworkers thinks he has it figured out, if he does get it
    I'll get back to you.

    thanks
