Description

Hello. I was wondering if there was a way to get the pressure distributions from the elements. For example, I am currently using WriteVariablesTime to obtain the loads on the tip element of the main wing. However, I was wondering if there was a way to obtain the pressure distributions in a similar manner to integrate over the surface area of the element. I was thinking there may be some data pass between the aerogrids and the beamloader, so I was wondering if there is a way to pull that pressure distribution out for postprocessing.
Thanks!

Research direction

The request mentions WriteVariablesTime and data passing between the aerogrids and beamloader. Start by tracing how loads are currently obtained for elements and whether pressure data is retained or exposed there. Done should mean that the supported way to retrieve pressure distributions for surface-area integration and postprocessing is defined and available.
