The moment report is represented in the simulation tree by a node, which has its own properties but is subject to the report node's pop-up menu.
The moment of force on a surface about an axis is defined:
|
| (21) |
where 
and 
are the pressure and shear force vectors and 
is a vector defining the axis through point 
about which the moment is taken and 
is the position of face 
relative to 
.
The pressure force vector on surface face 
is computed as:
| (22) |
where 
is the face pressure, 
is the face area vector, and 
is the reference pressure. As defined, this is the force that the fluid exerts on the surface.
The shear force on surface face 
is computed as:
| (23) |
where 
is the stress tensor at face 
. This is the shear force exerted on the surface by the fluid.
