Viscous Material

Post by Saravana »

Hi,
I'm trying to model rubber isolators. For that, I'm thinking to use viscous material. But I couldn't understand about how to use this material and its parameters from the manual. Is it possible to have any more details about this material or example file on that?
Also, could you suggest any other material in OpenSees which I can use to simulate rubber isolators?

Thanks in advance,
Saravana.
