Damping(...)
This method creates a Damping object.
Path
mdb.models[name].materials[name].Damping session.odbs[name].materials[name].Damping
Required arguments
None.
Optional arguments
- alpha
A Float specifying the factor to create mass proportional damping in direct-integration and explicit dynamics. The default value is 0.0.
- beta
A Float specifying the factor to create stiffness proportional damping in direct-integration and explicit dynamics. The default value is 0.0.
- composite
A Float specifying the fraction of critical damping to be used with this material in calculating composite damping factors for the modes (for use in modal dynamics). The default value is 0.0.
This argument applies only to Abaqus/Standard analyses.
- structural
A Float specifying the structural factor to create material damping in direct-integration and explicit dynamics. The default value is 0.0.
Return value
A Damping object.
Exceptions
RangeError.
setValues(...)
This method modifies the Damping object.
Required arguments
None.
Optional arguments
The optional arguments to setValues are the same as the arguments to the Damping method.
Return value
None.
Exceptions
RangeError.
Members
The Damping object has members with the same names and descriptions as the arguments to the Damping method.
