User Manual and Tutorial
The user can define the G/GMAX and damping properties by first defining the number of data
points. Note that the number of data points should be identical for G/GMAX and damping. The
strain and damping values should be entered as a percent [%].
To save the data points, type a name to identify the properties and press Save Material. Once
saved, the newly saved file will appear in the “Use Saved Material Properties” listbox.
The user can also use saved material properties by selecting the appropriate file from the listbox
and pressing the Use Saved Material button. We will use this method in this example. Select
the saved material named “S&I_Mean.dsm” and click the Use Saved Material button. The
discrete point data for this material should now be loaded in the spreadsheet as shown below.
