Directly telling you force of drag and lift?

[FrankTheTank]

Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to set my simulation to output directly the forces acting on my plane design in newtons and not give me the coefficient of drag and lift, but instead the force of lift and drag. if not, when I use the frontal area to calculate drag coefficient, what area would I use in the drag equation(ex. wing area, frontal area)? thank you for your time and help here is the project link.

Hi Frank,
you can create a set for the Forces and Moments and another on for the Forces and Moments coefficients:
