Element Types
- DASHPOTA
Axial dashpot between two nodes, whose line of action is the line joining the two nodes
- DASHPOT1(S)
Dashpot between a node and ground, acting in a fixed direction
- DASHPOT2(S)
Dashpot between two nodes, acting in a fixed direction
Active Degrees of Freedom
DASHPOTA: 1, 2, 3. The translational degree of freedom in the 3-direction is not activated in an Abaqus/Standard analysis if both nodes of the element are connected to two-dimensional entities such as two-dimensional analytical rigid surfaces, two-dimensional beam elements, etc.
DASHPOT1 or DASHPOT2: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. If you specify a local orientation for the dashpot, these are local degrees of freedom. Otherwise, these are global degrees of freedom.
Additional Solution Variables
None.
