Bézier Curves on Solidworks

Hello, as part of my project, I have to compare the aerodynamics of certain wing shapes, more particularly wings drawn with and without Bézier curves. I have already coded the program that allows me to draw the wings using the curves but here is the problem: when I want to enter the points defining the wings and connect them directly, I have the impression that Solidworks uses by default the Bézier curves or something else that in any case does not draw a segment between the points, which, of course, corrupts my whole study! 

So I wanted to know how to prevent that. 

Thank you for your attention,

Yours truly.

Carrier. 

PS: my version of Solidworks is the 2013 version.

Good evening @cazenave.vitu 

Obviously you have them, either in 2D Spline or in 3D Spline.

You have noticed that you have three types of curves: splines, style splines and curves driven by an equation.

The latter should be the best suited to your case as long as you choose "explicit".

Is this the function you used?

That said, with all the possibilities of sizing on splines, there is surely the solution.

Here is a PDF that I made and which indicates a lot of solutions to control splines. But this document does not talk about Macros or equations to draw curves.

Kind regards
