Cosmos floworks

Hello,
Working on a project, (designing a race car). I'm Getting really good
drag and downforce numbers, but I NEED to know where my center of pressure
is!!!! I can't figure it out. Help me!

I believe you can integrate certain values over a surface(s).

 

I'd import FloWorks results in CosmosWorks (Designer) and measure
reaction forces there. It won't give you the center directly, but
forces on wheels might be a good start.

Does anybody else NOT see a problem here? This seems like a pretty MAJOR,
however simple feature that's outright absent!

you can write an "enhancement request" ...
I don't know if it's really a "major" feature in CFD programs. Do you
know any other "general" CFD software that implements it ? As I see
it, mechanical effects of aero/hydro dynamic forces can be studied in
a FEA like CosmosWorks.
