Virtual Wind Tunnel - Center of acting forces

Hello,
It is possible to get the center of acting forces for a driving vehicle in virtual wind tunnel? I mean the location for point of action for the resulting aerodynamic forces (lift/down and drag) when vehicle drives with a specified velocity.
The default wind tunnel report contains information about lift coeffienct cl and drag coefficient cd. In typical airfoil considerations you work also with a moment distribution and therefore with a moment coefficient cm. Information about total force values in X,Y and Z and total moment values in X,Y and Z is normally sufficient enough to determine loaction of total force.
Is there a possiblity to get information about moment distribution?
