I am trying to determine the lift, drag and torques on an inclined plate in a flow. When I run a 3D simulation I can simply go to the Forces and Torques Report and they are all there in every direction for my plate. However, when I do a 2D analysis (Control volume is one element wide with symmetry on both sides) the Forces and Torques Report disappears.

Is there a way to get CFX to show forces and torques on a body when I run the simulation in this way? Is it the symmetry planes that don't allow this report to be calculated?

I want to compare what CFX calculates to some literature values. Currently, I am using a polyline to get a plot of the pressure across the surface of the plate and then integrating via the trapezoid rule to calculate the Force per unit Depth. If I were to convert this into lift and drag all values would cancel and give me the formulas I am testing.

Thanks for your help.
