How can I calculate the center of pressure for a component using CFD-Post?

      The expressions for a center of pressure with coordinates (CPX,CPY,CPZ) for a solid with an outersurface called “Wing” are: CPX=areaInt(X*Pressure)@wing/areaInt(Pressure)@wing CPY=areaInt(Y*Pressure)@wing/areaInt(Pressure)@wing CPZ=areaInt(Z*Pressure)@wing/areaInt(Pressure)@wing They work well for pressure forces, and viscous forces can be added as well.
