Finding torque of a turbine by linking Fluent Post and Static Structural
 
Hey Folks am relatively new to Fluent

I am simulating the flow over a wind turbine enabled with Dynamic meshing 6DoF with a UDF code for specifying the parameters for the same.

I was told to link the results of the post processor of the setup of the "Static Structural package" and the geometry to the same as well. But am pretty much clueless on how to proceed next.

Just have a vague idea that the desired time step result is to be loaded and the fixed support is to be specified as the moment exerted on the blade w.r.t. the fixed support will be the torque of the blade.

Kindly help.
Thanks in advance.
