Elliptical platform with round leading edge

[jihlein]

I designed an elliptical wing planform, but when using a round leading edge, the leading edge traces a straight line between the panel’s root and tip rib.

When using a round leading edge, the leading edge tab instructs you to use a round spar tagged as used for leading edge.

Is there a bug here or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance,

You must also select the "Follow curvature" box on the leading edge spar. It won't be a nice ellipse, but it will keep the spar at the front of each rib.

Hmm, will check this out as I ran into something similar the other day.

Follow curvature is what I was missing. Now it looks as I had expected.

Thanks Steve!
