Create a Planar Curve
The main part of a cyclone geometry can be designed as a solid of revolution. Therefore in the first step a plane curve is created. This process creates the cyclone model introduced in Figure 
and the Table .
- Start the SALOME software.
- When the SALOME is loaded open new Geometry module.
- Navigate to the menu New Entity > Basic > 3D Sketch (see Figure ).
- NOTE: We use 3D Sketch to align the axis of symmetry with the Z-direction. Otherwise 2D Sketch can be used to create a plane curve in XY-plane.

- In the 3D Sketch Construction window (see Fig.
) the points which create a curve are to be imposed. - The particular cyclone dimensions are listed in the Table and setting Z-coordinate of the bottom part to zero.
- Change the parameter Result name to Cyclone-sketch.
- The following points are imposed:
