What is the exact method to find the amount of drag and lift generated on a body after performing the simulation in Ansys Fluent?

I am working on the flow analysis of a flying object using ANSYS Fluent.

I need to find out the exact amount of Lift and Drag generated by the object.

Is there any way to find ?

Hi,

you should use tab: Report and chose Forces. Then You should enter force integration vector values. Values depends on flow vector. For simpliest case if You have front flow (yaw and pitch are 0) to check drag force integration vector will have (x,y,z) values (1,0,0) for lift force (0,1,0)
