I'm new to floworks and I am modelling a Tesla turbine on floworks but cant get it to show the shear force that is acting on the disk.

I have a really simple model of an inlet that leads the fluid between 2 disks that I have spinning at a certain rpm and there is a hole in the centre of the disks for the water to flow out off. I can get do a surface plot or a 3D plot to show the pressure at different parts of the model but I am unable to make it show the shear force that is acting on disk.

Is there anyway to do this?

Any help would be much appreciated.
