Dear Jason
For taking the output from FAST to FEA tools for blade stress analysis which approach should we use?. For example for Test18, should we use
either a) Use the ‘ForcN’, ‘ForcT’ and ‘Pmomt’ from Test18.AD.out results as per Anbazhagan’s post below
OR b) Use the Spn1FLxb1, Spn1FLyb1 combined with Spn1MLxb1, Spn1MLyb1 and Spn1MLzb1 pitching moments from Test18.out
Approach (a) does not have Root forces and moments though.
This is also a follow-up to your reply at Application of FAST output for static and fatigue FEA run
-Best Regards
