importing airfoil #25

Hello,
I want to use an airfoil that is not a NACA section.

As far as I understand, I need to pass the call() function with airfoil='name of the file'.

However, when I do so I get the following error:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'Polar_''''the name of my file in here''_17114543.382491257_0.0_25.0_3'

Any insight on this would be much appreciated,
thanks

Hey, I know this is over 2 years old now, but just in case you or someone else comes across this issue looking for a solution, the trick is to use the parameter NACA=False when calling the function. For example:

find_coefficients(airfoil="e423.dat", alpha=5, Reynolds=200000, NACA=False)
