Scalar Damper Property and Connection to Scalar Points

Description: Defines a scalar damper element that is connected only to scalar points and without reference to a material or property entry.

Format:

Example:

Field Definition Type Default
EID Element identification number. Integer > 0 Required
B Value of scalar damper. Real Required
S1, S2 Scalar point identification numbers of connection points. Integer ≥ 0 See Remark 2

Remarks:

  1. Element identification numbers must be unique with respect to all other element identification numbers.
  2. S1 or S2 may be blank indicating a constrained coordinate.
  3. When this entry is used in heat transfer analysis, it generates a lumped heat capacity.
