Viscous Damping Element Property
Description: Defines the properties of a viscous damping element (CVISC entry).
Format:
Example:
| Field | Definition | Type | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| PIDi | Property identification number. | Integer > 0 | Required |
| CE1, CE2 | Viscous damping values for extension in units of force per unit velocity. | Real or blank | 0.0 |
| CR1, CR2 | Viscous damping values for rotation in units of moment per unit velocity. | Real or blank | 0.0 |
Remarks:
- PVISC entries must all have unique property identification numbers.
- Viscous properties are material (temperature) independent.
- One or two viscous element properties may be defined on a single entry.
