-- $0.02 < \omega_i/\omega_0 < 0.2$: the attainable damping ratio is maximized and is reached for $g \approx 2$
-- $0.2 < \omega_i/\omega_0$: the added damping decreases as $\omega_i/\omega_0$ increases.

+The effect of three disturbances are considered (as for the uniaxial model), floor motion $[x_{f,x},\ x_{f,y}]$ (Figure ref:fig:rotating_nass_effect_floor_motion), micro-Station vibrations $[f_{t,x},\ f_{t,y}]$ (Figure ref:fig:rotating_nass_effect_stage_vibration) and direct forces applied on the sample $[f_{s,x},\ f_{s,y}]$ (Figure ref:fig:rotating_nass_effect_direct_forces).
-- Floor motion (Figure ref:fig:rotating_nass_effect_floor_motion)
+Note that only the transfer function from the disturbances in the $x$ direction to the relative position $d_x$ between the sample and the granite in the $x$ direction are displayed as the transfer functions in the $y$ direction are the same due to the system symmetry.
-- Micro-Station vibrations (Figure ref:fig:rotating_nass_effect_stage_vibration)

 Conclusions are similar than with the uniaxial (non-rotating) model:
 - Regarding the effect of floor motion and forces applied on the payload:
-  - The stiffer, the better (magnitudes are lower for the right curves, Figures ref:fig:rotating_nass_effect_floor_motion and ref:fig:rotating_nass_effect_direct_forces)
+  - The stiffer, the better. This can be seen in Figures ref:fig:rotating_nass_effect_floor_motion and ref:fig:rotating_nass_effect_direct_forces where the magnitudes for the stiff-hexapod are lower than for the soft one
-  - Integral Force Feedback degrades the performance at low frequency compared to relative damping control
+  - acrshort:iff degrades the performance at low frequency compared to acrshort:rdc
 - Regarding the effect of micro-station vibrations:
-  - Having a soft nano-hexapod allows to filter these vibrations between the suspensions modes of the nano-hexapod and some flexible modes of the micro-station. Using relative damping control reduce this filtering (Figure ref:fig:rotating_nass_effect_stage_vibration, left).
