     Direction 1 is toward from local node 1 to node 2.

     Direction 2 is vertical direction of Direction 1.

     G11 to G33 represents the component of constitutive matrix in shell material.

     Damping Ratio (): Defines the damping ratio. The structural damping ratio of element and the damping matrix of is C computed from the following equation.

where:

: Damping Matrix

: Stiffness Matrix

: Damping Ratio
