  Ewen You can insert calculations to measure forces using the icon in the image shown below. You can use Total Force in X, Y, or Z to find the net force in that direction.

    Thank you.
    
    But I can't use that for drag coefficients, for example, correct?

    Correct. Discovery Live does not calculate lift/drag coefficients.
