      The expressions for a center of pressure with coordinates (CPX,CPY,CPZ) for a solid with an outersurface called “Wing” are:
      CPX=areaInt(X*Pressure)@wing/areaInt(Pressure)@wing
      CPY=areaInt(Y*Pressure)@wing/areaInt(Pressure)@wing
      CPZ=areaInt(Z*Pressure)@wing/areaInt(Pressure)@wing
      They work well for pressure forces, and viscous forces can be added as well.
