EID |
Unique element identification number. No default (Integer > 0) |
B |
Scalar damper value. No default (Real) |
S1, S2 |
Scalar point identification numbers. Default = 0 (Integer > 0; S1 ≠ S2) |
1. | S1 or S2, but not both, may be blank or zero, indicating a constrained coordinate. |
2. | This single entry completely defines the element since no material or geometric properties are required. |
3. | Only one scalar damper element may be defined on a single entry. |
4. | A scalar point specified on this entry does not need to be defined on an SPOINT entry. |
5. | Scalar damper elements are ignored in heat transfer analysis. |
6. | This card is represented as a spring or mass element in HyperMesh. |
