Class
    Foam::forces

Description
    Calculates the forces and moments by integrating the pressure and
    skin-friction forces over a given list of patches.

    Member function calcForcesMoment()calculates and returns the forces and
    moments.

    Member function forces::write() calls calcForcesMoment() and writes the
    forces and moments into the file <timeDir>/forces.dat
