Question How to find torque and angular velocity in Fluent?

aacheng30 is on a distinguished road
I am doing a research on vertical axis turbine power generation under a specific wind velocity and I already simulate a model in fluent using 6dof. Like This

However, I don't know how to find the transient power generation. I come out with:P=FV

so I used the torque data generated in fluent and then divide it by the radius to find the F, but there are X,Y and Z axis of torque, so I am confused and I don't know which torque value I should use.

Also for the V, I consider using the default angular velocity expression in fluent to convert to linear velocity. However, the angular velocity is always zero under the omega expression.

Any one has any idea on my question?
Thanks
