No change in time period with addition of viscous damper

[Prafullamalla]

I used the single bay frame with viscous damper from the example. When I checked the time period with and without viscous damper it is same in tcl version. In python version the time period changes when using viscous damper. Change the uniaxialmaterial with # for viscous damper
wipe all; # clear memory of past model definitions
model BasicBuilder -ndm 2 -ndf 3; # Define the model builder, ndm = #dimension, ndf = #dofs
