      Element 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

      Element description[0, 1]

Description of the hinge.

      Element 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)

      Element name[0, 1]

Name of the hinge.

      Element 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.

      Element 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

      Element 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).
