Torsional Analysis Holzer

This document contains code for performing torsional analysis of a multi-rotor system using Holzer's method. The code prompts the user to input parameters like the number of rotors, their moments of inertia, shaft stiffness values and an assumed natural frequency. It then calculates the external torque on each rotor at that frequency and repeats for different frequencies, plotting a graph of torque vs frequency at the end.
