classmethod from_table(n, file, sheet_name=0, tag=None, n_link=None, scale_factor=1, color='#355d7a')#

Instantiate a bearing using inputs from an Excel table.

A header with the names of the columns is required. These names should match the names expected by the routine (usually the names of the parameters, but also similar ones). The program will read every row bellow the header until they end or it reaches a NaN.
