SAP2000 non-classical viscous damping
SAP2000 non-classical viscous damping
(OP)
dear all
a question about viscous damping in SAP2000
doing a time history analysis, can I take into account cross-coupling terms between modes due to non proportional (non-classical) damping ?
I know SAP2000 accounts for NL coupling, but I don't want to model a hysteretic link, i have a story with a greater amount of linear viscous dissipation than other stories
thanks
