I have a place file with quite easy reproduction steps, do you mind if I send you it?

Yes, please send it to me and we will take a look!

#259

Any update on this? Still haven’t a way to find out the Center of pressure of acting airfoils to be able to make pid controlled systems for trim etc

Hi Michael,

Thanks for reaching out - did you already check the debugging visuals we released here? Aerodynamics [Studio Beta] November 2023 Update

This shows force/torques from wind as well as visualizes the Center of Pressure :slight_smile:

Please let us know what else would be helpful!

Best,
M0bsterLobster

EDIT: FluidForceSensor (linked below) is more likely to be what you’re looking for.

Hello Michael, thanks for your question!

Have you looked into the FluidForceSensor? You can find the announcement here along with an autotrimming example. It includes an API for getting the CoP.

Best regards,
