| Numeric ID | 201364 |
| Value Type | PMTechValue |
By default, the tilting pads are represented as circular ring sector-shaped bodies in the simulation model. The pad geometry can be modified using the subsequent parameters. The pad geometry must be modeled precisely to analyze the contact between the pad back and liner, especially with simulations using the internal FE-code.
- Rsegr - tilting pad back radius in mm
- esegr - eccentricity of pad back center of curvature in mm
- gamma_LE - Inclination angle of the segment end face on LE side in °
- gamma_TE - Inclination angle of the segment end face on TE side in °
