How to measure thrust?

Sunny Chitti · June 19, 2017, 23:39

Hello Everyone,

Please view the attached .gif image. I generated that motion using Transient Structural. There are two bodies in that geometry one is rod and other is a sheet of flexible material. Rod is making the sheet to move as you see in image. I want to know how to calculate or measure force or thrust by which the water will be displaced by the sheet when I perform Two way FSI using CFX. If any one know how to do it please let me know. Thank You.

If you do an FSI you can get the force using the force() CEL expression, which you can evaluate in the solver or in CFD-Post.

Thank You ghorrocks, I can't say I got what you said but I will work in that way.
