Q about damping value ?

Post by mousa »

Hi all
I just want to know if there is a way to update freq value for each step of analysis in order to update damping factor which depend on it ?
Thanks

Yes. You can do that. Do the analysis in a loop and after each step of analysis request eigenvalues. I've already posted such example on the message board.
