NewtonianAerodynamicsFromCAD:

Path: ACPro/Newtonian

% Compute force and torque for a CAD model.

 Shadowing is not modeled. Vertices must be entered into faces
 counterclockwise. The axis of rotation for the fuselage should be
 [0;0;0]; Plots will be against whichever input, alpha or beta, changes
 the most.

 Lift and drag are assumed to be in the x-z plane. Drag is opposite
 the velocity vector. Lift is normal to drag in the x-z plane.

   Form:
   [force, torque, cL, cD, lOverD, aTotal] = 
    NewtonianAerodynamicsFromCAD( alpha, beta, uMag,
                                  rho, g, c, angle, uSurf, display )
