Aircraft Simulation: CL/CD Numbers Off

gmalate · June 2, 2016, 14:07

So I am currently running an alpha sweep on an aircraft for a project and at zero alpha I'm getting some very strange numbers (lift approaches zero, drag way too high). Dobule checked my reports and everything looks like its set up right. I've attached images of the mesh and the physics setup as well as a few details. I've been having some trouble trying to pin point the issue so any help at all is appreciated! Please let me know if there any other details that would be helpful.

Have you tried create a force report to verify that it's not an error in the force coefficient report?
