Viscoelastic properties in the Material dialog box (Simcenter Samcef)

Property View
From the Property View of an Isotropic material, select the Samcef Isotropic Structure type to add viscoelastic properties to a Samcef isotropic material.From the Property View of an Orthotropic material, select the Samcef Orthotropic Structure type to add viscoelastic properties to a Samcef orthotropic material.From the Property View of an Anisotropic material, select the Samcef Anisotropic Structure type to add viscoelastic properties to a Samcef anisotropic material.
Viscoelasticity page
Model	Lets you select the viscoelastic model.You can choose between a Zener, a Maxwell, or a Kelvin model.
The following option appears if the Model list is set to Maxwell, Kelvin, or Zener.
Damping	Define the α damping coefficient of the law. You can define a temperature dependent value.For more information, see the VELA parameter of the Maxwell/Zener/Kelvin material in the Samcef Viscoelastic behavior page.
The following option appears if the Model list is set to Zener.
2nd Hooke Coefficient	Define the γ Hooke coefficient of the Kelvin component of the Zener law. You can define a temperature dependent value.For more information, see the VELG parameter of the Zener material in the Samcef Viscoelastic behavior page.
