Functional Expressions for Dampers

  • Linear damper: - c*v**n

  • Torsional damper: - ct*omega**n

In these expressions:

v is the current relative velocity between parts at the attachment points.

omega is the current angular velocity between the parts, about the user-defined axis.

c is the Linear Damping Constant.

ct is the Torsional Damping Constant.

n is the Exponent. For example, if spring force = kx2, then n = 2. Valid options are <-4,-3,-2,-1,1,2,3,4>.
