What is the Value of Lift?

The lift should be 0.0. - No Lift - The flow in the airfoil view window should be moving from left to right around a symmetric airfoil. A symmetric airfoil (one whose top surface is shaped identical to the bottom surface) will generate no lift if it is pointed directly into the flow.
