Calculate statistics of the simulation VTK outputs over a given range of time steps given by nums. Use this to calculate, for instance, the mean load distribution and fluctuations on wings and rotors.

                            )

Read a blade VTK file filename under directory read_path and returns the circulation and force components of the load distribution along the blade.

Return: rs, Gamma, Np, Tp, Rp, Zhat, Rhat, That, Ftot
