Extract Strain measurement from tower and blades

Wind & Water Structural Analysis
1

Hi,

I am working on reconstructing tip displacement of wind turbine using discrete strain measurement on the structure.
I was trying to have strain measurement using Fast but cannot find any output option that gives strain.
Is there a output option that provides strain data (unit: micro-strain) ?
If not, can I deduct strain data from other measurement?

It seems that Fast uses several strain data to obtain moment and acceleration.

Thanks, :unamused:

DearJongwoong,

A similar question has been asked and answered on the forum–see e.g. my post dated Jul 23, 2014 in the following forum topic: Mlife and Fatigue.
