ABAQUS changes geometry (aliasing?)

I'm building an helicopter blade from a naca profile and ABAQUS changes the geoemtry of it. It's just visual, not real! Check the attached file. The yellow dotted lines are the effective areas I need to extrude, the red bold lines are fictitious, but they are bothering me since there are very small sections (0.01 in) and it's difficult to pick them when the edge are so distorted from the real geometry. I have the same problem with solidworks but I solved it there. Can I do something for ABAQUS?
Thanks

Try changing curve refinement (View —> Part Display Options) from coarse to fine or very fine.
