I found an ANSYS document and video and tried to replicate the steps, but the problem remains unresolved. I have experimental data for the viscoelastic material( storage modulus and loss factor).&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&#8217;m using ANSYS Workbench and inputting the viscoelastic properties through a snippet command, but I keep getting the following message from ANSYS:&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&lt;p&gt;For material 2, the harmonic viscoelastic model requires two elastic constants. The shear modulus experimental data will be used with the real Poisson&#8217;s ratio input via the MP or TB,ELAST command, and the imaginary part of Poisson&#8217;s ratio will be set to zero.&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&lt;p&gt;I also tried switching to APDL and curve-fitting my data, but I encountered an error (figure 1).&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have this university project due by Saturday, 7th September. Can anyone help me understand what I might be doing wrong?&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&rsquo;m attaching some pictures and the project files for reference.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1Ydu3UY5QfyiOYddeTG1R1v5Aod7wCV8u\/view?usp=drive_link&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/05-09-2024-1725541631-mceclip0.png\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/05-09-2024-1725541642-mceclip1.png\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/09\/05-09-2024-1725541648-mceclip2.png\" \/>&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-381643","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry","topic-tag-full-harmonic","topic-tag-viscoelastic-material-1","topic-tag-viscoelastic-simulation-2"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_subscription":["103129","40063","262422"],"_bbp_author_ip":["193.136.33.236"],"_btv_view_count":["289"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_topic_id":["381643"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["40063","103129","262422"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_reply_count":["6"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["382450"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["382450"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2024-09-12 09:57:43"]},"test":"castrohenrique0208gmail-com"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/381643","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/381643\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=381643"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
