*DAMAGE STABILIZATION

*DAMAGE STABILIZATION
Specify viscosity coefficients for the damage model for fiber reinforced materials.

This option is used to specify viscosity coefficients used in the viscous regularization scheme for the damage model for fiber reinforced materials. You can use this option in conjunction with the *DAMAGE INITIATION, CRITERION=HASHIN and *DAMAGE EVOLUTION options.
