dc.description.abstract	In this paper, a utility for the conversion of the airfoil geometry is described and its function is demonstrated. The utility can convert a Selig, Lednicer, or VSP airfoil file to the universal GEO format, and then it may mesh the geometry for a following CFD analysis. The first section lists the formats which may be used for the storage of airfoil data and for meshing. The main section introduces the utility, briefly describes the code, and shows an example of use. © 2017 Author(s).	en
