vishu343 is on a distinguished road
Hello Guys,

I am trying to calculate Radial load distribution in Centrifugal pump impeller. In this process, I am interested to calculate Force on some particular surface which is rotating in X direction and Y direction with respect to each time steps and based on these two values I will find vectorial resultant force.

i.e. FR = (FX^2+FY^2)^0.5

But, in this case value of FX and FY which are being plotted in CFX Solver are different than those in CFX POST shows as

force_x()particular surface
force_y()particular surface

This particular surface is nothing but interface between impeller and volute of centrifugal pump.

Can anybody help in this issue?

Many Thanks in advance.
