Concord2.62

Concord - Coordinate Converter enables you to convert files between different airfoil formats. This is a straightforward piece of software capable of extracting airfoil coordinates from ASCII text to generate Rhinoceros, AutoCAD, GEO or XML filetypes.

Simple setup and interface

Installing this app shouldn't give you any trouble, since the wizard contains familiar steps and there are no prerequisite software products involved.The interface of Concord - Coordinate Converter is represented by a large normal-looking window with a simple design that makes visible all options put at your disposal.

Convert airfoil files to other formats

It has a built-in file explorer to help you locate and select files for processing.

Evaluation and conclusion

It carried out conversion tasks fast in our evaluation and had minimal impact on the computer's performance, thanks to the fact that it required a low amount of CPU and RAM to work properly. No error dialogs popped up and it didn't hang or crash. However, it hasn't received updates for a long time.The bottom line is that Concord - Coordinate Converter facilitates a fast and easy solution for converting files between various airfoil types, so you can test it for yourself, since it's free for non-commercial use.
