Hello guys,
I think it would be helpful to have a step by step tutorial how to enable damping in Hypermesh.
In the following lines I describe how I was trying to enable damping. ( It doesn't work for me atm)
1.assigned materials and properties to components, create a group of nodes in which the damping should occur
2. -in solver browser create->DAMP->DAMP
-assign values for alpha and beta, assign the grnod_id
-assign the skew_id (what differences will be caused when using the global coordinate system or a local system on the component? )
3.enable ENG_DAMP control card, chose property which needs damping ( do I have to chose the property which was created in solver browser? )
Are these steps enough or do I need to do some more steps to get the right damping?
Thank you
