Do we have damping in acoustics?

      In acoustics, we don’t really have damping except viscosity (some energy loss within the fluid), which is input as a material property, although this is usually a small amount of energy loss. The structural damping is the main source of energy loss and should be specified the same in both analyses (in harmonic, “Analysis Settings” allows specification of damping).
