A method and apparatus for assembling a rotatable machine is provided. The machine includes a first set of blades that extend radially outwardly from a rotor assembly and wherein a second set of blades is available for installation on the rotor assembly. The method includes determining at least one of a moment weight of each blade in the first set of blades and a geometric parameter of each blade in the first set of blades, determining at least one of a moment weight of each blade in the second set of blades and a geometric parameter of each blade in the second set of blades, and determining a mapping order of each blade for the rotor assembly using the moment weight and the geometric parameter of each blade in the first set of blades and the moment weight and the geometric parameter of at least one blade in the second set of blades.
A rotor assembly comprising:
A computer program embodied on a computer readable medium for determining a blade map for a bladed rotor assembly, said program comprising at least one code segment that:
