Import of point coordinates (.dat File) directly into Hypermesh possible?

Hi there!

 

I have the following issue: In order to model a 2D airfoil with the help of several points I would like to import a '.dat file' that contains all the point coordinates for the airfoil surface. Is there a possible way to import these data directly without any file transformation?

 

In addition, I would really like to know if it's possible, and if yes how, to connect all the airfoil surface points together with a SMOOTH and nice spline instead of strange linear splines?

 

 

Thank you very much for your help!

 

Kind regards
