Shear force on rotating disk

I'm new to floworks and I am modelling a Tesla turbine on floworks but cant get it to show the shear force that is acting on the disk.
I have a really simple model of an inlet that leads the fluid between 2 disks that I have spinning at a certain rpm and there is a hole in the centre of the disks for the water to flow out off. I can get do a surface plot or a 3D plot to show the pressure at different parts of the model but I am unable to make it show the shear force that is acting on disk. Is there anyway to do this? Any help would be much appreciated. |

shear force can be viewed in the latest version 9.4 and for that you need to request this output in the Output tab. I think the option is called "Critical shear stress"

Squid,
You say you are "new to floworks". Do you mean to be in the FLOW-3D forum? If you're using Cosmos Floworks, the users here won't be able to help. |
