Blade structure twist
The blade structure twist is similar to the
Blade shape twist, but affects the structural properties of the blade. It applies to the individual
Blade structural elements. A twist angle of 0 means that the
Edgewise stiffness is in the direction perpendicular to the
Blade reference line and parallel to the rotor plane. The
Flapwise stiffness will be in a direction perpendicular to the
Blade reference line and perpendicular to the Edgewise stiffness direction. The positive direction is clockwise when looking from the tip towards the root of the blade.
Note: this parameter is defined for each blade structural element in the
