Hi everyone, I am doing fluent analysis on an aircraft. Currently I trying to get the lift distribution curve along the wingspan. I have been trying to add an iso-surface at difference location of the wing and get the cp curve. Calculate the area under the graph give me the lift at that particular location. I am wondering if there is any other method to get the lift distribution along the wingspan directly? maybe create an iso-surface on the wing? Attached is my geometry together with its enclosure for your reference. Thanks.

Create a lift monitor via Solution > Monitors > Create > Lift... You can select which wall zones to include in this calculation (your wingspan may cover several wall zones).
