14.1 Define viscous and structural matrices via user subroutine UINTER

Product: Abaqus/Standard  

Benefits: You can now define viscous and structural damping matrices for user subroutine UINTER in direct steady-state dynamic analysis.

Description: User subroutine UINTER accepts viscous and damping matrices arguments that allow you to define the material level damping matrices. Any viscous and structural damping effects at the element interfaces representing local dissipation behavior (e.g., due to friction) can now be implemented together with the stiffness matrix for direct steady-state dynamic analysis.
