Global Damping dialog box (Abaqus)
| Properties | |
|---|---|
| Description | Lets you specify an optional description for the modeling object. |
| Global Damping Parameters | |
| Rayleigh Mass Damping Factor | Specifies the αglobal factor to create global Rayleigh mass proportional damping Dα=αglobal * M, where M is the model’s mass matrix.This option corresponds to the ALPHA parameter for the *GLOBAL DAMPING keyword. |
| Rayleigh Stiffness Damping Factor | Specifies the βglobal factor to create global Rayleigh mass proportional damping Dβ=βglobal * K, where K is the model’s stiffness matrix.This option corresponds to the BETA parameter for the *GLOBAL DAMPING keyword. |
| Structural Stiffness Damping Factor | Specifies the s**global factor to create frequency-independent stiffness proportional damping, D**s=is**global * K, where K is the model’s stiffness matrix.This option corresponds to the STRUCTURAL parameter for the *GLOBAL DAMPING keyword. |
