Re: How to show a force generate by a propeller with flow simulation
It's kind of hard to tell without having your project available. Could you upload it to the forum?
If not, try generating a couple of cut plots through the midplane of the propellor. Do one for pressure and one for velocity (including 2D vectors) and maybe we can find out the problem. Make sure to turn off "use CAD geometry" and "interpolate".

Re: How to show a force generate by a propeller with flow simulation
Hey thanks for your reply ! I couldn't reply before , sorry about that.
I tried what you told me , and the result doesn't show anything ( Gyazo - b6ffcf918f7982d8051e21178720af1d.png )
I upload my project, if you could help me with this, that would be very cool, because i'm totally blocked without those results.
The link to my project : https://mega.nz/#F!5og3XRRZ!scUo37sYDF08lKkYTqSRfg

You can upload the zip file directly to the forum. I don't like those "mega" upload sites, they are sketchy.

Re: How to show a force generate by a propeller with flow simulation
Hello Marco,
Please see the attachments how do display (calculate) forces/loads. Please note that that when using Goals (you have already used one) that is the Forces which are plotted in XY-plot . You have to create Equation Goals to divide the Forces by the Surface Area in order to get the Loads. When using Surface Plots or Surface Parameters (calculated values which are output in Excel) then the surface area is automatically calculated and so the loads. I cannot upload the updated model - my version is SW2014 but I hope you can recreate your post-processing by the images below:
