Calculate temporally averaged forces on meshes

In in a simulation you have a mesh defined like :

mesh id cad file meshes/plate.stl material m1

The time averaged force on the mesh can be calculated using the calculate temporal_average command. The input values are sampled at every simulation timestep, whereas the average is computed every write_every_time or write_output_timestep time units. The input is used for calculating the average for the same time.

calculate temporal_average object cad file post/force.txt write_every_time 2.5e-3

the output file force.txt, looks like

TimeStep f_cad[1] f_cad[2] f_cad[3] f_cad[4] f_cad[5] f_cad[6] f_cad[7] f_cad[8] f_cad[9] f_cad[10]

where the first three column after the TimeStep are the three components of the force acting on the mesh.
