Blade Loads Outputs at Root Axes System

The body-fixed coordinate system of the blade is the root axes coordinate system. The blade root coordinate system serves as the reference frame for defining the blade's geometry. The orientation of the axes is fixed to the blade root and does not rotate with either twist or blade deflection. The axis set does rotate about the z axis with pitch. For output loads, the origin of the axes is on the neutral axis at each local deflected blade station.
