PARAM, MBDDAMP

Bulk Data Entry Specifies inclusion of the generalized damping matrix in the Flex H3D file.

Parameter Values Description
MBDDAMP <YES, NO>
YES
The generalized damping matrix is output to the Flex H3D file for superelements generated for multi-body dynamics applications via the Craig Chang (CC) and Craig Bampton (CB) component mode synthesis methods.
NO (Default)
The generalized damping matrix is not output to the Flex H3D file.

Comment

  1. PARAM,G can be combined with PARAM,W3 to include overall structural damping.
  2. PARAM,W4 can be combined with GE on material entries (MAT#) to include element structural damping.
