Hi all,

I am trying to run a CFD using the Solidworks Flow Simulation addin. I wanted to calculate drag on a sphere, but was not sure whether I should be using Force (z) or Normal Force (z) for a -10 m/s windspeed on the Z axis.

I ran the sim and the numbers looked very alike. I am not sure if there is something wrong in my understanding of the tool.

Thanks.
