    Hi, Wondering if there is a way to 'force' the wing tips to be perpendicular to the wing, rather than the semi-circular design?
    Thanks in advance!

    Not sure that I understand. The tip panels are flat and perpendicular to the wing when using the thick panel method.
    There are alternative methods in flow5 to increase the panel density and the shape of the tip, but it turned out it doens't make much difference if any.

    Hi Andre, I'm trying to create a model something like this one; as you can see it has 'blunt' wing tips that have no curvature at all. The automatically generated wing tips have a semicircular profile; which as you said you can change the panel density of, but from what I can tell I can't have them generated 'flat' .

    Hi again, Just found that I can make 'Tip Strips = 1' and I get the result I want. Thanks for your support and for any inconvenience!

    Cheers
