This card is used within a step in which the *MODAL DYNAMIC procedure has been selected. It allows for Raleigh damping in a global way, i.e. the damping matrix is taken to be a linear combination of the stiffness matrix and the mass matrix. The coefficients apply to all modes.
First line:
Example: *MODAL DAMPING ,,0.,2.e-4
indicates that the damping matrix is obtained by multiplying the stiffness matrix with
