    What is the application/use case of cyclic load?Is this for analysis or Optimization?

     

    Are you looking for periodic boundary condition for truncated model using OptiStruct?

    As per my understanding please refer attached files for the Analysis related to cyclic load.

    • Periodic Boundary Conditions
    • Sine Sweep Fatigue Analysis

    This is the new feature in OptiStruct 2017.2.2...Please make sure to use the same version for run.

    I am using the version 2017.2 for Preprocessing and Solving. Is it required to update the solver to give run?
