Hi,
I was trying to simulate the Helliconia system from the novels by Brian Aldiss but I can't seem to make the smaller stars orbit eccentric. Any ideas?

Very interesting...

What's the exact setup you're trying to create?

Workaround- take a gas giant and set up the desired orbital parameters, after that increase the mass to make it a star.
