In SN life fatigue analysis carried out in optistruct, we get output of life and damage only. How to get dispacement and stresses induced due to fatigue loading in output? Thanks in advance.

    Fatigue analysis would give you output in terms of Life and damage only.If you are interested in stress & displacement output then carry out Static or Dynamic analysis.

    See attached screenshot from FEA book for basic difference of Static, Dynamic & Fatigue analysis .
