Aerodynamic Damping Calculation by QBlade CE 2.0.8?
Quote from sjx21 on 7. August 2025, 14:05Hi,
If QBlade CE 2.0.8 could calculate aerodynamic damping? It seems only EE version provide the corresponding function.
If aerodynamic damping could be calculated by CE in someway for purpose of academic research?
Thank you very much and looking forward to the reply.

the modal analysis and Campbell diagram features are not available in QBlade-CE.
However, to get values for modal damping you could setup your own numerical experiments in time domain simulations within QBlade-CE and extract damping properties from there. For example you could apply an impulsive force to the blade tip and observe the decay of blade oscillations.
