Bulk Data Entry Controls the internal calculation of material
damping when different material damping values (GE on
MATx) are specified for different regions in a model.

This internal change may
improve computational speed.
- 0
- The traditional material damping calculation is
used.
- 1 (Default)
- The value of PARAM,
G is internally set equal to the most common
value of GE for structural elements
in the model, to speed up the calculation of material
damping. The GE values (new
GE values) of the rest of the
elements in the model are correspondingly set such that
the totals (PARAM,
G + new GE
value) are equal to the initially specified values.
