)By default, i.e., if you don't specify damping coefficients,
DIANA assumes `no damping'. [C = 0
]
Interpretation of the input values depends on the type of the elements.
For discrete spring/dashpot elements cx is the
damping coefficient Cx
in the element x
axis direction
[Fig.9.3].
The values cy and cz must not be specified.
For point mass/damping elements, the values cx, cy,
and cz respectively are the damping coefficients
CX
, CY
and CZ
acting along the global
XYZ
axes (orthotropic).
If you only specify cx, then the damping acts equally
along all three axes (isotropic):
CX = CY = CZ
.
