Comments

1.Damping values are defined directly on the CDAMP2 entry and therefore do not require a PDAMP entry.
2.A structural viscous damper, CVISC, may also be used for geometric grid points.
3.Up to four damping properties may be defined on a single entry.
4.This card is represented as a property in HyperMesh.
