Dear all,

I cannot find a description of modal damping in OpenSees. While there an opensees wiki page for rayleigh, i dont see such a thing for dampingModal.

I know it is probably mentioned properly in McKenna and Chopra "Modeling viscous damping in nonlinear response history analysis of buildings for earthquake excitation", but i dont have access to it.

Could anyone please share the document with me (I am a student in Europe, my institution does not have access to the academic downloading for the article)?

Regards,

Giovanni
