Tour
The XLRotor Tour illustrates what XLRotor looks like in action,
tells you about some of its many features and benefits, and
gives you a feel of what it's like to perform your own analysis
using the software. There are two versions of the Tour. The
Quick Tour shown below which provides a very brief overview,
and the more extensive tour available via download.
The downloaded Tour is a Windows Help file hypertext document,
and is a 1.4 MB download. You need only Microsoft Windows (any
version) to run the Tour. Excel is not required. Use the
link shown above to take you to the download page. The demo
is a self installing executable file. Just download it, run

drive.
XLRotor Quick Tour
Ease of use
XLRotor has one of the worlds most familiar and user friendly
interfaces. If you know how to operate any Windows based
spreadsheet program, then you’re ready to start using
XLRotor. Having little to no learning curve is a big plus,
especially for those who do more than just rotordynamics.
Model Build Versatility
In XLRotor, all model inputs are entered on worksheets. This
provides amazing versatility in how you build your models.
You can do everything the old way by entering values, but you
can also use formulas to compute inputs, even compute them
from other inputs. By using macros your models can
practically build themselves.
Extensive Analysis Capabilities
All XLRotor analysis and modeling operations are readily
available through a custom pull down menu and a custom
toolbar. The analysis capabilities of XLRotor are extensive.
They include:
- undamped critical speed maps
- damped eigenvalues and stability
- synchronous and asynchronous forced response
- indeterminate static deflections
- >nonlinear transient response
- and many more
Flexible Model and Analysis Options
Model and analysis options are set using tabbed dialog
boxes. All settings are saved within every rotor model
workbook file. Options can be set based on creation and
display of your model, analysis parameters, and formatting of
results.
Choice of Bearing Applications and Types
Bearings, seals and other types of interconnecting elements
are also modeled using worksheets. These worksheets are like
stand alone applications which can be kept in separate
workbook files, or embedded within rotor model workbook
files. XLRotor comes with worksheets for many different
bearing types. Users can create worksheets that import data
from their own bearing or seal analysis programs, or even
execute those programs from the worksheet. This integration
allows legacy analysis codes to be easily utilized by XLRotor
without tedious keying of data and loss of productivity.
See Your Results in Motion
XLRotor has a multitude of features that make your work go
faster and easier. It is easy to see your results in motion by
using one of several animation tools.
Automatic Graphic Chart Creation
XLRotor is very much a graphical program. Analysis results
are always placed on worksheets with charts created
automatically from customizable templates. XLRotor shines
when it comes to reporting because the formats for tabular and
graphical results can be customized to any degree. XLRotor
output results are easily moved to your favorite Word
processor or Presentation application.
