Extracting Force Values in x, y, z Directions along a Surface in Fluent

      Hello everyone,

      I am currently working with Ansys Fluent and I would like to know if it is possible to extract the force values in the x, y, and z directions along a surface of interest. Specifically, I am interested in retrieving the force values applied at each node of my mesh along this surface.

      Additionally, I would like to export these values to a CSV file that includes the coordinates of the nodes and the force components in the three directions.

      Could someone please guide me on how to achieve this? I appreciate any advice or instructions you can provide.

      Thank you in advance for your support.

      Best regards,

      Luca

      The force reports are per surface, but you may find what you want in the facet data in a UDF which could be dumped to a UDM.
