Hi, i've done the Lift and Drag report of my wing, but i would like to see the force (and force coefficient also) distribution along the span.
What i can do?

thanks

Create a field function and manually define the force. F=p*A. Use the area component for the direction you want to see.

You can also add the wall shear in for the viscous forces, but they are probably small.
