I'll take that as a no.

Your suggestion to try using the fiber model is interesting. I might be able to do it with a fiber model as a roundabout indirect way of actually implementing a new material. Otherwise I'll try my hand at the new material to use with a zeroLength surface.

Has anybody implemented a section aggregator that takes a 1-D uniaxial material and converts it to a coupled 2-D section with a circular yield surface? This would be similar to the bi-directional section, but instead of inputting $E, $sigY, $Hiso, and $Hkin, we could input $matTag for some generic u...

I just learned that you can assign different Rayleigh damping parameters to different elements using the region command. Thanks to Zhaohui Yang for pointing me in the right direction.

I am wondering if anyone has coded a visco-elastic nDMaterial. I am trying to do equivalent linear site response for soil in a way that is similar to SHAKE. That requires specifying a shear modulus and damping ratio for each soil type, hence global Rayleigh damping in combination with an ElasticIsot...
