I am working with antenna modeling, and besides directivity or gain , I am interested in wind load. The formula says wind load is proportional to Area , the drag coefficient and the length/width ratio. Could you point to a OpenFOAM or Ansys model / document about how to get that coefficient. DO I need to get the force on the antenna due to the wind and then obtain directly the coefficient, or there is another trick. Do you know a way to automatically generate  many models on those softwares? (I need to simulated hundreds of antennas, for example Yagis with different dimensions of elements and/or separation between elements.
