Hello,

I was wondering if it's possible to obtain the dimensional value of the forces directly in the screen/history output and in the forces breakdown file without having to multiply it by the reference factor given. Does anyone know how to do it?

Thank you

Probably with custom outputs:

% User defined expressions of solver variables and other history outputs.
% The syntax to define a custom output is 'name : type{expression}[markers]'.
% NOTE: To obtain the list of available solver variables write an invalid
% expression (e.g. 'x : AreaAvg{INVALID}[]') and run SU2.
% Different outputs need to be separated by ";". The available types are:
% - Macro: Introduces a new field that can only be used in other expressions,
%   it is not an output by itself (note the "$" symbol to reference macros).
% - Function: Introduces a new scalar output that is a function of other scalar
%   outputs, it cannot reference fields (e.g. velocity).
% - AreaAvg and AreaInt: Computes an area average or integral of a field (the
%   expression) over the list of markers.
% - MassFlowAvg and MassFlowInt: Computes a mass flow average or integral.
% - Probe: Evaluates the expression using the values of the mesh point closest
%   to the coordinates specified inside "[]", [x, y] or [x, y, z] (2 or 3D).
% NOTE: Each custom output can only use one type, e.g. it is not possible to
% write 'p_drop : AreaAvg{PRESSURE}[inlet] - AreaAvg{PRESSURE}[outlet]'. This
% would need to be separated into two AreaAvg outputs and one Function to
% compute their difference.
