How to calculate the force generated by a propeller on flow simulation?

Simulation Generality
1

Good evening 

I try to calculate the force generated by my propeller. For this, I tried to do a simulation on flowsimulation, however my results do not seem very consistent. I have the impression that the running lines are good, but I have no change in speed/pressure/force.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Some screenshots of my settings:

Hello

By changing the options, nothing changes?

Hi Marco,

Have you found the method to calculate the force generated by your propeller? because I'm in the same situation as you and I'd like to have your help on the subject.

Thanks in advance!
