Force Reports in 2D Axisymmetric Cases

Question - In 2D Axisymmetric cases, are the force reports based on the area of 360deg revolved surface?

Answer - While post-processing 2D axisymmetric results, the forces reported from the Report > Forces… panel are based on the 360deg revolved surface area. In other words, the line integral of pressure and shear stresses are internally multiplied by 2 .
