[soln-plugin-fluidforce-name]

Periodically integrates the pressure and viscous stress on the boundary labelled name and writes out the resulting force and moment (if requested) vectors to a CSV or HDF5 file. Parameterised with

  1. nsteps — integrate every nsteps:

    int

  2. file — output file path; should the file already exist it will be appended to:

    string

  3. file-format — output file type (defaults to CSV):

    csv | hdf5

  4. file-header — for CSV output if to write a header row or not:

    boolean

  5. file-dataset — for HDF5 output where in the HDF5 to write the data:

    string

  6. morigin — origin used to compute moments (optional):

    (x, y, [z])

  7. quad-deg-{etype} — degree of quadrature rule for fluid force integration, optionally this can be specified for different element types:

    int

  8. quad-pts-{etype} — name of quadrature rule (optional):

    string

Example:

[soln-plugin-fluidforce-wing]
nsteps = 10
file = wing-forces.h5
file-dataset = /forces
quad-deg = 6
morigin = (0.0, 0.0, 0.5)
