structuralDamping
Specify damping parameters for transient or frequency response structural model
Syntax
Description
structuralDamping(
specifies proportional (Rayleigh) damping parameters structuralmodel
,"Alpha",a
,"Beta",b
)a
and
b
for a structuralmodel
object.
For a frequency response model with damping, the results are complex. Use the
abs
and angle
functions to obtain
real-valued magnitude and phase, respectively.
structuralDamping(
specifies the modal damping ratio. Use this parameter when you solve a transient
or frequency response model using the results of modal analysis.structuralmodel
,"Zeta",z
)
returns the damping parameters object, using any of the previous input
syntaxes.damping
