2.1.3.1. User Defined
For the User Defined data entry option, calculations are typically made with a
spreadsheet. Once the data is arranged in columns to match the Complex Load
Data table, you can copy the data to the clipboard and paste it into the table. The
columns are tab delimited, which is the default format for Microsoft Excel
software. Alternatively, you can create and import a text file.
2.1.3.2. Templates
The Rotary Complex templates can be used to calculate Complex Load Data for
Unbalanced Load and Crank application types.
