Flow design

[frmul]

Morning

yesterday i did a flow simulation of a simple flat surface that have an angle of 30° to the orizontal plane. The output program gave me the pressure distribution but i don't find the way to obtain the net force direction and its point of application.

How i can find this information in Flow design?

Thanks

Hi,

As Flow design is a Tunnel Simulation software it gives you sufficient results as Velocity & Pressure. You can adjust the Visualization as desired, or select the 'Vectors' 'Plane' visualization, You can observe the direction of Flow.

You can also enable Drag Plot to observe Drag Force & Coefficient Vs Time plot.

Hi

Thanks for your reply. First sorry for my english. I understand that Flow Design is a wind tunnel simulation and its principal date are  pressure and velocity. Using Drag plot i can have the magnitude of the total forze, but i need the centre of the forze. Whitout this information i can't calculate the fix point of the simulated structure. In the specific case i would like simulate an photovoltaic structure, and if i don't know the exactally coordinates of the center of the forze i can't calculate the fix point. If with this program i can't obtain what i need you can suggest me some other program.

Regard

I would suggest that you add center of force needs to the idea station. 

Autodesk Simulation CFD can determine those outputs for you.

Can you please tell me how would i get rid of encounter in the flow and provides solutions for working around them how ?
