Feature Suggestion: Meta-data for ComputeForces Calculation

Hello!

When in post-processing we extract the forces acting on the boundaries, we get some very nice .csv files output, which holds a lot of data + the units. So that is all great.

What I am suggesting is that it would be nice to also be able to output a "meta data file", i.e. which -mk was the force calculation done on, which approach was used SPS-LES or artificial viscosity, what is the smoothing length, is it fixed/moving/floating and so forth - all of this is already being output in the terminal of ComputeForces tool, but it would be nice to be able to easily export it as a meta data file too.

Of course we can trace back the simulation settings and "guess" what we did based on experience, but my experience is that a few month passes, you pick up simulation results again and a lot of details have been lost.

This is why I propose this feature, for easier documentation and validation - if it is possible to already do so, please guide me on how.

Kind regards
