Forces and Moment Documentation

Is there any documentation on the specifics of what Tecplot does when you perform the Analyze>Perform Integration > Forces and Moments operation?

The reason I ask is because doing the above calculation gives me reasonable answers for my solution. But computing the forces via https://kb.tecplot.com/2018/02/23/ca...orces-moments/ gives me different values.

Any help appreciated.

In case anyone finds this, my issue was that I had to change all my variables to cell center for the above method to work.
