  Inside Ansys Mechanical, Is it possible to conduct a damped modal analysis or defined mode-based damping ratio based on the viscoelastic properties of a material (prony series terms). There will be a duplicate question on the LS-Dyna forum but it is NOT duplicate. I am asking this question for both LS-Dyna and MAPDL.

  please delete this post. I didn't mean to double post, I couldn't find my old post so I thought it wasn't posted and then I posted this and then I saw the post again...
