Why my center of pressure is not on my aircraft

      I have a fluid regime around the left half of my aircraft (as a void within the fluid regime):

      Hello,
      Once the mesh is imported in Fluent do you run a simulation before calculating the center of pressure? Is the solution of the simulation in Fluent fully and properly converged? Incorrect solutions could lead to this discrepancy.
      Another source of error could be in the set up for calculating the center of pressure. You can find an example on how to set up the panel for estimating the Center of Pressure in the Fluent User's Guide at: 36.5.1. Generating a Force, Moment, or Center of Pressure Report.
      Hope this helps

      Could you help me see if this is properly converge?
      I used sst k-omega as my turbulence model
