Hello, I am new to this forum.

I am working on a simulation of flow around a racecar.

I would like to know the way to the downforce distribution. Now I am working with the X coordinate of the cp at z=0 (According to the ansys help that point is the intersection of the resultant force and the plane I defined).

First, I am not completely sure this is the correct way. And second, by doing that I am taking into account drag forces.

Is it a better way to find the location of the equivalent Fz?.

Thanks for your help.
