We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

yea I reduced the time step. Usually the the velocity range should be below 0.32 m/s and I made the timestep in a way that, the velocity stays in range. But still the lift force is going super high within a few timesteps. I cannot find the reason for it.
and yes, I am moving the airfoil too far away with the force, as it looks like.


alternatively, I was thinking that, I can write the force data in .OUT or .txt file using report definition. Is there any way, to read the force data from that .OUT file and use it in the CG_motion?

thanks
