Definitions:

nbstep -- Number of rotation velocity steps.

keyunit1 -- Key for the bearing characteristics units. If keyunit1 is not on file, it defaults to 1.

If keyunit1 = 0, there is no transformation.
If keyunit1 = 1, it transforms lbf/in into N/m and lbf.s/in into N.s/m.

keyunit2 -- Key for the rotational velocity unit. If keyunit2 is not on file, it defaults to 1.

If keyunit2 = 0, there is no transformation.
If keyunit2 = 1, it transforms rpm into rd/s.

id -- Step identification number.

omega -- Current step rotational velocity (see keyunit2 for units).

K11, K12,.. -- Stiffness characteristics at omega (see keyunit1 for units).

C11, C12,.. -- Damping characteristics at omega (see keyunit1 for units).
