 damping | [0, 1] | Damping of the hinge in (N/(m/s)) for linear hinges and (N.m/(deg/s)) for angular hinges. Default value: +inf |
| description | [0, 1] | Description of the hinge. |
| dynamicStiffness | [0, 1] | Dynamic stiffness of the hinge in (N/m) for linear hinges and (N.m/deg) for angular hinges. Default value: +inf (statically rigid hinge) |
| name | [0, 1] | Name of the hinge. |
| neutralPosition | [0, 1] | The angle (in deg) at which the hinge is in neutral position. This element is normally used to define precone or prelag angles of the attached blade. Defaults to 0. |
| staticStiffness | [0, 1] | Static stiffness of the hinge in (N/m) for linear hinges and (N.m/deg) for angular hinges. Default value: +inf (statically rigid hinge) |
| transformation | Transformation | |
| type | Hinge type. Possible values: "flap", "pitch" "leadLag". This is used to define the rotation axis of the hinge (flap = y-axis in blade cs, pitch = x-axis in blade cs, lead-lag = z-axis in blade cs). |
