mdplot

DynamicOptions.mdplot(function='', dmpname='', scale='', **kwargs)

Plots frequency-dependent modal damping coefficients calculated by DMPEXT.

Mechanical APDL Command: MDPLOT

Parameters:

functionstr

Function to display.

• d_coeff - Damping coefficient

• s_coeff - Squeeze coefficient

• d_ratio - Damping ratio

• s_ratio - Squeeze stiffness ratio

dmpnamestr

Array parameter name where damping information is stored. Defaults to d_damp.

scalestr

Indicates whether to perform a linear or a double logarithmic plot.

• LIN - Perform a linear plot. Default

• LOG - Perform a double logarithmic plot.
