B2PP

Direct Input Damping Matrix Selection

Description: Selects a direct input damping matrix.

Format:

B2PP = name

Example:

B2PP = BDMIG

Option Definition Type
name Name of the matrix that is defined on the DMIG Bulk Data entry. Character

Remarks:

  1. Direct input matrices will not be used unless selected.
  2. Terms are added to the global damping matrix after constraints are applied.
  3. The matrix must be square or symmetric in form (field 4 on DMIG Bulk Data entry must contain the integer 1 or 6).
  4. This command is only supported in complex eigenvalue solutions.
