A type of BladeModelling

Properties

GeometricStiffnessModel: string, optional

The geometric stiffness model to use for the blades. For blades with 1 part, the "axial loads only" model is recommended. This configuration is only appropriate for relatively stiff blades, undergoing small deflection. For more flexible blade models, a multi-part blade model is more appropriate. In this case, the "full with orientation correction" is the recommended option, as long as deflection remains small within each blade part.

default = AxialLoadsOnly

IgnoreAxesOrientationDifferencesForShear: boolean, optional

With this option selected, the effect of orientation difference between the neutral axis and shear axis on the blade elements are not taken into account. Please refer to the Bladed documentation "Bend-twist coupling in Bladed beam elements" doc No. 110052-UKBR-T-30 for further information.

default = False

BladeModellingType: string

Defines the specific type of BladeModelling model in use. For a RigidBladeModelling object, this must always be set to a value of RigidBladeModelling.
