Source code for abaqus.StepMiscellaneous.RayleighDampingComponent

class RayleighDampingComponent:
    """A RayleighDampingComponent object is used to define Rayleigh damping over a range of
    modes. 

    Attributes
    ----------
    start: int
        An Int specifying the mode number of the lowest mode of a range.
    end: int
        An Int specifying the mode number of the highest mode of a range.
    alpha: float
        A Float specifying the mass proportional damping, αM.
    beta: float
        A Float specifying the stiffness proportional damping, βM.
