From my own experience, in creating XLRotor I wanted a comprehensive analysis tool for rotordynamics where user productivity is paramount. It was absolutely essential that the program execute lightning fast, be extremely easy to use, and avoid the use of model size reduction so as to always deliver maximum accuracy.

I’m confident that engineers who use XLRotor will be very pleased with the software and the results it delivers.

The XLRotor evaluation version is a working version of XLRotor 3.7, and includes the many example analysis files. It is approximately 30 megabytes in size. Excel 97 or later is required to run this version of XLRotor. Last updated June 9, 2008 (29,571,424 bytes).

The evaluation version is limited in that it will permit analysis of models of 5 or fewer stations. You can also run any analysis with any of the included example files, many of which are more than 5 stations, as long you don't change the shaft model (you can, however, change everything else, including the bearings).

The installation program for the evaluation version will prompt you for a password. The password will be sent to you via email. The XLRotor evaluation version cannot be installed without the password. Please let us know if you encounter any problems downloading, installing or running the program (email tech support). An uninstaller is included which can be used to completely remove the program.
