Product: Abaqus/Standard
Benefits: You can create global damping matrices as part of matrix generation and substructure generation procedures. You can control the matrix and substructure generation process, making these procedures more versatile and efficient.
Description: Global viscous and structural damping matrices can now be generated for user-supplied global mass and stiffness proportional damping coefficients during matrix and substructure generation procedures in Abaqus/Standard. You can also control the content of overall damping matrices in the damping matrix operators.
Damping control options allow you to
generate viscous/structural damping matrices that include material and/or element properties only,
generate viscous/structural damping matrices that include global damping properties only,
generate viscous/structural damping matrices that include combined material and global properties, or
exclude viscous and/or structural damping altogether.
