30.4 Forces on Boundaries

For selected wall zones, you can compute and report the forces along a specified vector, the moments about a specified center and along a specified axis, and the coordinates of the center of pressure. This feature is useful for reporting, for instance, aerodynamic quantities such as lift, drag, and moment coefficients, as well as the center of pressure for an airfoil.

For additional information about forces, moments, and the center of pressure, see this section in the separate Theory Guide.
