Application of FAST output for static and fatigue FEA run

Dear Pravin,

The spanwise locations of the nodes where the local blade loads (Spn1MLxb1 etc.) are output are described in the old FAST User’s Guide–see the description of BldGagNd. I don’t have a great figure to share, but a description of the local blade coordinate system where the local blade loads are output is given in my Mar 13, 2015 post in the following forum topic: Discrepancy in Loads Between Blade Root and Local Spans.

While a detailed description has not been written, there is some discussion about post-processing FAST results for structural analysis of stress, etc. through FEA in the following forum topics:
Stress analysis of blade.

Best regards,
