Define a rotor
Choose Rotor Dynamics tab→Rotor Modeling group→Define Rotor Modeling Assembly .
In the Rotor Modeling Assembly dialog box, from the Rotor 1 list, select a previously defined rotor region or click Create Region to create a new rotor region.This defines the rotor.
If applicable, repeat step 2 to define up to nine additional rotors.
Click OK.
