Koenieboy New Member Koen Achten Join Date: Aug 2011 Posts: 4 Rep Power: 15	Hello, I've done 2D simulation of an airfoil in Fluent 13.0. I can calculate the Cl en Cd as shown in several tutorials on the internet. But I need the coordinates (position) were the lift force acts on the airfoil. Can this be calculated in Fluent? Or how can I obtain the position? many thanks! Koen
