    Hi

    You can use CBUSH which defines a generalized spring-damper structural element. I hope this is what you are looking for.

    Hi @wen li tang

     

    Please refer to CVISC which defines a viscous damper on elements.

     

    CVISC needs PVSIC property.

     

    Go to Springs panel and change element type to CVISC to create a CVSIC element.
