Greetings.
I am a newbie in SU2 and I was trying to simulate a NACA0012 airfoil with AR=6 in SU2. I created the mesh in pointwise and used ONERAM6 wing tutorial presented in the SU2 tutorials section. My solution does converge and I get an increasing trend in lift co-efficient with increase in angle of attack. However, my drag co-efficient comes out to be negative (about -1.5). Any thoughts where am I going wrong? Thanks in advance.

Can you post any files that might be useful? Especially the SU2 config file would be helpful.
