Field

Contents

PID#

Property Identification number.

No default (Integer > 0)

CE1, CE2

Viscous damping values for extension in units of force per unit velocity.

No default (Real)

CR1, Cr2

Viscous damping values for rotation in units of force per unit velocity.

No default (Real)

Comments

  1. Viscous properties are material independent; in particular, they are temperature independent.

  2. One or two viscous element properties may be defined on a single entry.
