| Field | Contents | SI Unit Example | 
|---|---|---|
| ROTORID | Identification number
                                    of a rotor. No default (Integer > 0)  | 
                                |
| LTYPE | Indicates the item
                                    type in the list references elemental set IDs, element IDs or
                                    property IDs.
 No default (Character)  | 
                                |
| IDi | IDs of sets, elements
                                    or properties comprising the rotor. No default (Integer > 0)  | 
                                |
| AXIS | Defines grid points which define the axis of rotation. | |
| GID1, GID2 | IDs of grids
                                    comprising the axis of the rotor. No default (Integer > 0)  | 
                                
Comments
- Fixed reference frame method is adopted for 3D rotor dynamic analysis via the ROTOR Bulk Data Entry.
 - Supported element types:
- 0D elements : CONM1, CONM2
 - 1D elements : CBEAM, CBAR
 - 3D elements : CHEXA, CPENTA, CTETRA, CPYRA
 
 - The THRU option is supported in lists of elemental set IDs, element IDs and property IDs. Different LTYPE lists can be used together.
 - 1D rotors can be defined via the ROTORG Bulk Data Entry.
 - For more information, refer to Rotor Dynamics in the User Guide.
