SU2 v7: Forces breakdown file?

CSMDakota · December 9, 2019, 12:00

After updating to v7.0 from v6.2, I'm no longer seeing the forces breakdown *.dat file being written at the end of solutions.

i.e., this parameter in the config file:

% Output file with the forces breakdown
BREAKDOWN_FILENAME= forces_breakdown.dat

Perhaps this file needs to be added to the (new) list of output files to write, but I cannot find they keyword for this option:
https://su2code.github.io/docs_v7/Custom-Output/

% Files to output
OUTPUT_FILES= (RESTART, PARAVIEW, SURFACE_PARAVIEW, ??<something for FORCES_BREAKDOWN??? )

Has anybody run across this or a solution for it?

Thanks,
Brandon

You can enable the writing if the breakdown file by setting WRT_FORCES_BREAKDOWN to YES. We actually forgot to document that, thanks for the hint!

Great, thanks Tim for your help! The documentation for v7.0.0 has been a great improvement, keep up the good work!
