Hi,
I'm analysing a car's drag using a 2d model. For the frontal area value, because it's a 2D case, i just put the height of the car as the value right which will be in 'm' unit? or should i put the actual frontal area of the car which will be in 'm2' unit?

another thing is the Value of 'Depth' in the Reference Value. I notice that the value influence the total force value (using Report>Forces). What value should i put here? the total height of the car?

thanks in advance
