STRAUS is used by numerous automotive and racing car designers.

Passenger Vehicle Applications
STRAUS is used by many companies who subcontract to the major automobile and transport vehicle manufacturers. Applications of STRAUS in the analysis of vehicles includes:

	Chassis, bodies and roll over structures,
	Driveline, steering and suspension components,
	Plastic mouldings.

Racing Car Design
STRAUS is used by some of the leading designers of open wheel racing cars and rally cars. It is used in the design and structural analysis of the following:

	Mechanical components and fittings,
	Chassis,
	Aerodynamic surfaces and wings,
	Suspension components,
	Engine components,
	Composite parts.

Almost all of the STRAUS solvers are applicable in the automotive field. These include:

	Linear static solver for the analysis of stresses and deflections due to static loading,
	Nonlinear solver for the analysis of mechanisms such as suspensions,
	Natural Frequency solver for determining the natural vibration frequencies of components such as the steering system, critical driveline frequencies and natural frequencies of plastic mouldings such as fan housings,
	Harmonic and Transient Dynamics solvers for determining the dynamic response of structures such as the modal analysis of engine components and accessories, the transient response of suspension components, etc,
	Spectral solver for fatigue and shock analysis,
	Heat solver for the analysis of thermal stresses in engine components and accessories.
