Heliciel tutorials and videos: build your propeller

These Heliciel tutorials and videos teach you how to build a propeller, from your first study to the wind turbine, the drone, the duct fan, the Kaplan turbine or the hydrofoil. Each page presents one Heliciel function on a concrete case, and each video episode shows the same path on screen. A few hours are enough to master the function you need. You can then make your propeller by prototyping, from the 3D files in STL or IGES format that Heliciel generates, or from the 2D drawings of the blade profiles.

The icons help you find your way: marks a page to read, a video.

In this page:

1: Heliciel videos: the episodes of the series

Each episode of the series has its own page, with the video and its commentary.

2: First steps with the Heliciel software

3: Validating Heliciel against published measurements

A calculation program is only worth what it reproduces of reality. These two pages compare Heliciel results with measurements published by others.

4: Tutorials to build a propeller, a wing or a turbine

The table lists the step-by-step tutorials on the left and the user guides of the software functions on the right. Some specific functions and cases are repeated below the table.
