How to solve the derivative respect to angle of attack by Adjoint ?

Hi, does anyone know how to solve the derivative respect to the angle of attack by adjoint ?
or I have to use finite difference to compute the derivative respect to AoA.

Thanks!

Thanks!

However, I noticed that in the adjoint solving screen output history, there is one variable called sens_AoA, is that the sensitivity of the function respect to the AoA?

yes. You can access this value in the history file.
