Common Questions Regarding The New FULL Version Installation:
What do I do after I download this file?
This file is a compressed ZIP file comprising all of the installation files for DesignFOIL. After downloading this file, double-click your mouse on it and then double-click on the file called
Setup.exe to begin the installation process. If you need detailed instructions, please see the top part of this web page.
Are any features disabled in this version?
No. This is the fully functional version.
What's not included?
In V7, I eliminate the direct-to-CAD export because I couldn't keep up with the 3rd party updates. Instead, all push-button export sends data to a text file.
Do I need the Airfoil Archive too?
The Airfoil Archive is a collection of over 1500 airfoil coordinate files compiled by the University of Illinois (UIUC). You can import them into DesignFOIL and view them. I recommend unzipping these files into a folder named "AIRFOIL_ARCHIVE".
DO NOT expand the contents of this file onto your desktop because it will clutter it with over 1500 files!
What's new in V7.05?
I've finally resolved the Windows 11 bug. This version of DesignFOIL should now run on Windows 10 and Windows 11 without any problems!
