kimou New Member H.Ham Join Date: Mar 2019 Posts: 21 Rep Power: 7	Hello everybody, I am trying to calculate the forces on the surface of a cylinder emerged in a stream of water. I use the FORCES function I find: (-1.305747 1.757018e-18 42.25548) and with patchIntegrate: 308.3666 Can you explain to me dear users why a factor of ~ 8 between the two methods? thank you in advance best regrets
