Hey there!
I want to analyse an airfoil at different velocities (55km/h, 110km/h, 165km/h, 220km/h, 275km/h) to find out the drag and downforce.
Is it possible to analyse these five velocities in one run?
Thanks for helping

Yes, you can change the velocity using Java to automate the run. I'll post some code for it later.

So after getting your region, boundary, and creating a velocity magnitude profile, you can do this:

Code:
double velocities[] = {1.0,2.0,3.0,4.0,5.0};
        for(double rampVelocity:velocities) {
            velocityMagnitudeProfile.getMethod(ConstantScalarProfileMethod.class).getQuantity().setValue(rampVelocity);
            sim.getSimulationIterator().step(1000);
        }
