Hello,
I want to compute the center of pressure. My thoughts were to find a point were all moments are 0. But i don't know how to find it.

The steve portal have an article about how to find the cop. But I don't really understand the idea behind that method and it doesn't really work. The cop is wrong for sure. I tried it on a simple airfoil and the line_point (described in the Steve Portal) didn't even hit the airfoil. But the CoP should be on the airfoil.

Have you any suggestions?

Regards

-FFD
