On output of drag force in fluid analysis

  I would like to know the drag force on objects when I place an object in the flow.
  Can Discovery Live output drag force?
  
  I know that Discovery Live can output "Normal · Direction" and "Direction".
  
  Does [Pressure] [Normal · Direction] not include drag force, does [Direction] include drag force?
  If my recognition is correct, is the result of subtracting [Normal · Direction] from [Direction] of [Pressure] equal to drag force?
  
  If this method is wrong, please tell me how to output drag force.
  
  Thank you.

  Hello Wintercat
  
  You can insert calculations to measure forces. You can use Total Force in X, Y, or Z to find the net force in that direction.
