What clients say:

The Excel based platform for XLRotor is easy to use and makes it easy to keep all pieces of an analysis together and documented in a common location. Dr. Murphy has steadily enhanced the program over the 20+ years I have used it by adding new analysis features, numerous bearing and seal models, and new input/output formats. It is a living program that gets better and better every year.
