Hello everyone
I would like to know how $C from following is passed to the Newmark method of solution?
uniaxialMaterial Viscous $matTag $C $alpha

Any help is greatly appreciated

thanks

in other words I would like to know how getDamp method takes $C from viscousMaterial? especially for a zero length element. I guess it takes it in the form of eta form getDampTangent() as follows
eta = theMaterial1d[mat]->getDampTangent()

is this the only place where the $C is supplied to the solution algorithm?
