The Trans Damping and Rot Damping tabs allows you to define the damping properties of a compliant joint or bushing.  Damping can be linear or non-linear.

For:

Enter:

Cx, Cy, Cz Linear

translational damping coefficient in the local x, y, z direction.

Cx, Cy, Cz Curve

force transmitted through the bushing, expressed in the form of a force vs. displacement curve that is a function of a set of independent variables.

Select AKIMA, CUBIC, or LINEAR under Interpolation and enter a value under Independent variable.  Resolve the curve by clicking Curve and selecting a curve from the Select a Curve dialog.

Cx, Cy, Cz Spline3D

select AKIMA, CUBIC, LINEAR, or QUINTIC under Interpolation and specify an expression each under Independent variable X and Independent variable Z.  Resolve the 3D spline by clicking on the Spline3D collector and selecting a Spline3D entity from the Select a Spline3D dialog.

Cx, Cy, Cz Expression

force transmitted through the bushing, expressed in the form of a function expression.

Ctx, Cty, Ctz Linear

rotational damping coefficient in the local x, y, z direction.

Ctx, Cty, Ctz Curve

torque transmitted through the bushing, expressed in the form of a force vs. displacement curve that is a function of a set of independent variables.

Select AKIMA, CUBIC, or LINEAR under Interpolation  and enter a value under Independent variable.  Resolve the curve by clicking Curve and selecting a curve from the Select a Curve dialog.

Ctx, Cty, Ctz Spline3D

select AKIMA, CUBIC, LINEAR, or QUINTIC under Interpolation and specify an expression each under Independent variable X and Independent variable Z.  Resolve the 3D spline by clicking on the Spline3D collector and selecting a Spline3D entity from the Select a Spline3D dialog.

Ctx, Cty, Ctz Expression

torque transmitted through the bushing, expressed in the form of a function expression.

Non-linear damping properties can be defined using curves or expressions.
