Hello, I am simulating flow around an Ahmed Body. I have estimated the overall drag on the body and Now i am interested in calculating the drag coefficient at different portions on the body like on the front end, middle end and slant end. Is it possible to do it in ParaView?

Please help someone, I am a beginner in paraView.  
Also I have used OpenFOAM to simulate the flow around Ahmed Body

Thank You!
