The attached Excel file will create .dat files at the click of a button. This uses the late Harry Riblett's method for airfoil generation. It will only work on Windows systems because I used Visual Basic for Applications to generate the files. It was originally written in Excel with scripts for Mac, but I abandoned that when I got a new PC for engineering school. Users must enable Macros to export .dat files. The first page is formatted for printing on 8.5x11 paper. Be sure to create the folder like it explains on the first page.
Rename the extension of the download to .xlsm to ensure it functions perfectly. I renamed it .xls for the upload.
Enjoy.
