I'm getting good results but I would like to know the forces/stress acting on the airfoil and how much lift it has. Do you guys know if this is possible in Simulation CFD and how it's done?</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Thanks!</P> Fri, 21 Dec 2012 22:53:12 GMT Anonymous 2012-12-21T22:53:12Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/cfd-forum/flow-simulation-measure-force-on-object/m-p/3741928#M26058 <P>Hi!</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I've created a flow simulation of an aifoil in a wind tunnel.

I assume they give averaged values.</P><P>If you want location specific values, you need to enable the variables you are interested before running the simulation in "Result quantities" tab in Solve dialogue box.</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Cheers</P><P>OJ</P> Mon, 07 Jan 2013 09:38:06 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/cfd-forum/flow-simulation-measure-force-on-object/m-p/3746969#M26059 OmkarJ 2013-01-07T09:38:06Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/cfd-forum/flow-simulation-measure-force-on-object/m-p/3747844#M26060 <P>This is correct. Also ensure you have a very good mesh - adaptation can really help (CFD2013 and above) and running with Advection scheme 5 should also improve result accruacy.</P> Tue, 08 Jan 2013 08:23:34 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/cfd-forum/flow-simulation-measure-force-on-object/m-p/3747844#M26060 Jon.Wilde 2013-01-08T08:23:34Z
