French term or phrase: corolaire
Hi,

is this simply "logic would be" or something close in meaning?

here is my context:
"C’est dans ce contexte général qu’un objet de l’invention est d’améliorer la tenue mécanique des paliers. Un corolaire est de prévenir certains problèmes liés à l’utilisation de couronnes d’orientation pour les pales d’éoliennes en particulier l’usure due aux vibrations "

Thank you!
