Hi Cagatay,
Thanks for your answer. I've been reading part of the material of Drs. Fragiacomo and Gavric but they are very productive. If you could share some of the publications you mentioned (or its title, so that I can look for them) I would be really thankful. My email is dgugalde@uc.cl
Thanks in advance,
David

Re: Plane Stress Material in Navigator
Dear cgtwdmrc,
May you provide the name of some of the publications that you mentioned about the modeling.
Thanks!

Partial damping through regions
Hi everyone,
I'm using zero length elements to define the plastic hinges in a structure. I don't want their stiffness to contribute to the damping matrix so when I define them I use "-doRayleigh 0" (which is the default any way). Later on my script I define the Rayleigh damping using regions, but the zero length elements are included in those regions.
Will the stiffness of the hinges contribute to damping or not?
in other words...
Does the damping definition through regions overwrite "doRayleigh" parameter of the zero length element?
Thanks in advance,
David

Different Modal Damping ratios
Dear all,
I read that it is possible to set different damping ratios to different modes using the new modalDamping command. Does anybody know how to do that?
Thanks!
