lordvon Senior Member Robert Join Date: Sep 2010 Posts: 158 Rep Power: 16	Is there a way to output multiple force files created by the 'forces' function used in the controlDict? I would like to evaluate all of the forces acting on a case configuration as well as forces on specific patches (to determine shaft power, for example). Many thanks. EDIT: Found a solution. Copy and paste the 'forces' function definition in the controlDict file and rename it 'forces2' or something, so that now there is code for both 'forces' and 'forces2'. An additional forces file will be created a folder entitled 'forces2'. reza2031 likes this.
