3.2.1 Viscous Damping
Viscous damping is a form of damping which is proportional to the
velocity.
For all structural elements you may specify Rayleigh damping
coefficients to simulate viscous damping.

specifies Rayleigh damping:
a and b are the coefficients
a
and b
to set up the damping matrices
C
according to
For Rayleigh damping with lumped matrices,
the second coefficient b
must be equal to zero.
