<p>A system and method are provided for creating and reparenting a persistent airfoil. Design parameters are used to determine if an airfoil is to be created or reparented. A user selects the location of the airfoil data in a proprietary database. The airfoil data from the proprietary database can be pulled into the Unigraphics part data, exposing only objects that represent the solid airfoil and certain point locations. The solid airfoil is then made from surfaces extracted from original, hidden surfaces, and all the objects belonging to an airfoil are stored in a group. If an appropriate airfoil exists, the airfoil can be reparented, rather than created. When reparenting, all surfaces of the new airfoil are reparented with the surfaces of the original airfoil. All objects belonging to the old airfoil are deleted, and a group of objects belonging to the new airfoil are created and stored.</p> |
