Default torque calculations

Hi ..

I am working on a simulation of a crop harvesting machine and I want to draw a contour plot of the torque acting on the blade due to fluid. For this I need magnitude of the torque acting on different points of the blade surface.

I used the torque function in CFX post..

torque_z@Rot Blade 1

But this function calculates the total magnitude of the torque acting on the whole blade ..not on discrete infinitesimal points of the blade..please help me to calculate torque on various points of the blade.

Thanks in advance
