[waves2Foam] How to get the forces acting on a cylinder subjected to waves and current?

Hi Björn and Niels,

I have the same problem, I need to get the forces acting on a cylinder subjected to waves and current. I tried to use the combinedWaves, but I did not manage to get it works. I have no idea on how to define stokesFirst and optentialCurrent for the inletCoeffs in the same waveProperties.input file. I could not find any tutorials for this combination. I would be great if you could guide me through this or event better to post/send me a waveProperties.input file.

Kind regards,
Ahmed
