Airfoil Info #2509

Hello! I'm trying to convert from FAST V8 files to OpenFAST of the WindPACT 1.5 MW.
I used Matlab scripts and made some manual changes; it's not a big deal. The problem is the airfoil files used in Aerodyne.

The old Aerodyn airfoil files look like this:

It seems that airfoil files are not like that anymore. However, there is not enough information to convert from the old to the new format, so I'm stuck right now. I'm creating this turbine model because I'm connecting it to a WTG model within Simulink, and I might analyze only the generator model. Within this context, do you have any suggestions for me?

Dear @vicemora,

I'm not sure I fully understand what you are trying to do, but the WindPACT 1.5-MW baseline wind turbine has already been ported to OpenFAST, including a switch to AeroDyn v15-style airfoil data files. These are available in the OpenFAST r-test: https://github.com/OpenFAST/r-test/tree/main/glue-codes/openfast.
