This is a great initial design tool but doesn't currently have a way to create a pressure distribution, this analysis uses a 'vector force per face' so it includes drag.

Good morning

I apologise for my english. I would like to ask you some questions regarding this analysis.

I am a naval architect and curently I am working on a similar project

I never tried to use the Rhino function Scan&Solve, and do not know the capabilities of this plug-in.

I would like to ask you if the load the load as you considered on this analysis are just resultant force of total lift or is possible to set in Scan&solve the gradient of pressure on back and face of the hydrodinamic profile?

I would like to thank you in advance for your responce.
