Comments

  1. The TID#, DAMP# pairs list the TABLED1 entry, which defines a line of the spectrum and the damping value assigned to it. The damping value is in the units of fraction of critical damping.
  2. If only a single TID# and DAMP# pair is specified, the reference curves for different damping values will not be extrapolated from the specified values.
  3. Refer to Response Spectrum Analysis in the User Guide for more details.
