Hi

I am brand new to CFD, a bit familiar with the inventor. I need to do lift simulation. I was checking several tutorials and I found also this: http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/Autodesk-Simulation-CFD/NACA-AEROFOIL-2415-lift-coefficient-calculatio...

I see that for airfoil simulation 2D option is suggested. I dont get one thing, maybe stupid question. There is stated that 2D simulation uses 1 unit depth. So does this treat wing as one meter span( if metric units are chosen), and lift is calculated for 1 meter wingspan? Am I correct or maybe I dont understand this?
Is there a possibility to simulate lift of the delta wing or trapezoid swept wing by using 2D or only classic straight wings can be simulated in 2D and rest in 3D.
Is there a possibility to simulate lift of the rotating cylinder( magnus effect)?

Regards
