Elements With Dashpot Physical Properties

The DAMP2 element should be assigned spring properties thus:

PROPERTY PHYSICAL GENERAL [propname] damping-rate [d.o.f.]

Where d.o.f. is zero an DAMP2 element will be generated for d.o.f's 1, 2, and 3. Where d.o.f. is non-zero one DAMP2 element will be generated for d.o.f.
