Hi there,

I have a body that I wish to extract the lift and drag forces for in Paraview.

I assume that this can be achieved using the calculator but I cannot work it out. Could someone please give me some pointers on this.

Basically I need to calculate the normals for each surface, then find the pressure on each surface in the components of X (or Y or Z, depending on if it is Drag, Lift or side force), then intergrate these values for the whole body to get the Force value.

If someone has a procedure for something like this then please let me know!

Thanks for your help,

Scott
