Measuring Viscous Damping Forces

Post by jiejingz » Fri Nov 28, 2014 9:55 am

Hello Everyone,

Is there a way to measure viscous damping forces? I tried using node recorder - rayleighForces but everything is 0, so i suspect it does not apply to viscous damping.

I found a simple solution. You would just record the element force for that material (in my case it is an uni-axial viscous material).
