Damping
Use the Damping subnode to add several types of damping to the material model. Damping can be used in Time Dependent, Eigenfrequency, and Frequency Domain studies; for other study types the settings in the Damping subnode are ignored.

This section is only present when this node is added under Layered Linear Elastic Material node.
Select the layer or layers for which this damping model is to be used.
When Use all layers is not selected.
When the damping model differs between layers, you will need to add several Damping nodes with different layer selections. If the model is the same, and only the material data values differ, you can for most models use a single Damping node with From material. The data for each layer is then received from global Layered Material nodes.
All other settings for the Damping node are described in the documentation for Damping in the Solid Mechanics interface.
