      Element name[0, 1]

Name of the blade attachment.

      Element description[0, 1]

Description of the blade attachment.

      Choice Choice
            Element azimuthAngles

The azimuthAngles element is used to specify a list of discrete azimuth angles (in deg) at which instances of attached blades are to be created. The number of blades will equal to the number of elements of the vector. E.g. <azimuthAngles>0;90;180;270</azimuthAngles> for a four blade rotor with equal equiangularly distributed blades. The transformation of the respective rotor blade corresponds to a rotation by azimuthAngle around the z axis of the rotor coordinate system in mathematically positive sense of rotation.

            Element numberOfBlades

If only the number of blades is specified, the attached blades will be distributed equiangularly and the first blade will be attached at azimuth angle 0. (Formula: azimuthAngle[i] = i*360deg/numberOfBlades, i=0..numberOfBlades-1)

      Element hinges[0, 1]

Definition of all hinges used to attach the rotor blade.

      Element rotorBladeUID

UID of the rotorBlade which should be attached to the rotor hub.
