DampPt (Part Damping)

Purpose:

This interface is for showing, creating, modifying, and deleting the following damping definitions:

This is an alternative method to using Page 3 keyword card forms in that there is direct interaction with the model via the graphics viewport.

Function:

Sample:

No sample.

  • Show : Show existing damping part nodes.

  • Cre : Create new damping part nodes.

  • Mod : Modify damping part value .

  • Del : Delete damping part.

  • Label : Select label type.

  • Stiffness : Damping part stiffness.

  • Mass : Damping part mass.

  • Damping : Input damping value.

  • All : Select all damping part entities.

  • Rev : Reverse selection.

  • AList : Select all entities within the selected range.

  • Apply : Apply entries for creation/modification or selections for deletion.

  • Cancel : Cancel this modification or selection.
  • LCID : Load curve ID which specifies system damping for parts.

  • SF : Scale factor for load curve.

  • FLAG : Set to unity if global components of damping forces require separate scale factors.

  • ST : Scale factor on translational damping forces.
