Syntax

public enum DampingSpecification

Fields

Name	Description
ModalDampingFactors	Before additional damping ratios from strain energies are added, the modal damping factor is g + alpha/(2omega) + betaomega/2, where g is Constant Modal Damping, alpha is Rayleigh Damping Alpha, beta is Rayleigh Damping Beta, and omega is the frequency of the mode in rad/s. A total modal damping factor of 0 corresponds to no damping, while a value of 1 means critical damping.
PerFrequency	Allows input of modal damping factors as a function of frequency. A total modal damping factor of 0 corresponds to no damping, while a value of 1 means critical damping.
PerMode	Allows input of modal damping factors on a per mode basis. A total modal damping factor of 0 corresponds to no damping, while a value of 1 means critical damping.
