3.6. Rotor balance solution dialog
This dialog shows you the changes you have to make to the state of the rotor
compared to the state at the time that point was captured.
Fig 3.8. Rotor balance solution dialog
Important
The suggested changes are relative values not absolute
In words, the dialog in the above figure is saying reduce the weight
on the master blade by 1 unit (or, equivalently, add 1 unit to the slave
blade), reduce the chord adjustment by 9 units and reduce the pitch
adjustment by 1 unit.
The dialog also shows the absolute state of the rotor after the
suggested changes have been applied.
The dialog shows how the polar points should move when the changes in the
solution have been applied to the rotor. The white points indicate the initial
positions and the orange points indicate the final positions. The effect of each
adjustment (Span, Chord or Pitch) is shown as an appropriately coloured line.
There are checkboxes provided to select which adjustments and move lines
are used when calculating the solution. You must have at least one adjustment
and one move line enabled to be able to calculate a solution. Click the
