This is the "cone" I used. My solving mode is set on planar, so it isn't axisymmetric. I could have made it axis-symmetric, but I didn't. What Area must I use for the "reference values" in fluent, which are used in the drag calculations? And I used the shell plane of the 3d version of this cone for its area, but I have to make sure first of all that is correct and second if the Drag CD is valid for the 3d cone or just for the 2d plane, which is visible in the picture above? This is the reference value tab:
