We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hi CFD_Friend,

thanks a lot for your answer!!! I tried a lot a of ways to calculate the force (even the way you mentioned). In the end the problem was, that I have had set the option "include reference pressure" to "t" (true?) in CFX. In my understandng I would expect the force would be defined as shown on the figure above, just like in fluent, but it was different. I still had to define the relative pressure (pt_inlet-p_ref) at the inlet and outlet (p_outlet-p_ref). It does not make sense to me, but it works like that.

Thanks again and best regards!
