Thanks all. I have good experience and knowledge of fatigue testing (repeated linear static loading of metallic components, LR ratio = -1 etc.) I am trying to simulate this in Strand 7. I know how to do this in Ansys but am new to Strand. So i want to do a linear static study for stress...

Hi again, new to Strand7 i'm afraid. There does not seem to be a large community of users for this package unlike other packages. Im looking through the help and tut files for a fatigue study explanation. The load is linear, in respect to force and period. What solver should I be using? Thanks...

I was referring to Solidworks simulation. It seems easy in that package to apply a torque to models of tet. elements. Thanks all for the suggestions.

Hi there Im new here and was so frustrated by this problem i thought i would join this community. Basically I am trying to model torque on a shaft using brick elements with linear static analysis. Very simple in any FEA package but Strand it seems. I am fixing one end of the shaft, and...
