Calculating yplus

Is there a way to report yplus along a surface in SU2, just like pressure and skin friction are reported? Or do I need to manually compute yplus along the surface?

for 3D navier stokes or rans the yplus value is output to the restart file. You can then get the value on the surface in post processing, or alter the source code to add this output to the surface file.

Thanks Heather. What about for 2D? I'm only doing 2D right now and I don't see yplus in any of the outputs including the restart file.

set LOW_MEMORY_OUTPUT = NO

Worked like a charm. Thanks!
