Lift and drag coefficients in advanced simulation

Lift and drag coefficients in advanced simulation

(OP)
Does anyone know how to get the lift and drag coefficients in advanced simulation?
I'm in a project where we are testing different naca profiles and I want to get these coefficients.

I've used this youtube tutorial to get startet on the flow analysis, with air insted of water:

This thread say that you can either calculate them or you can get them from the report function in nx. I've tried the last one but I didn't get any results in the report.

RE: Lift and drag coefficients in advanced simulation

If you are doing NACA profiles if I were you I'd use XFoil.

It is free and effective. CFD code writing professors use it regularly from what I have observed.

I am in no way affiliated with XFoil.

The project is a part of a product development course here at NTNU (Norwegian University of Science and Technology), where we are supposed to use Siemens NX to solve our problems, but thank you anyways!
