*DAMAGE STABILIZATION

Specify viscosity coefficients for the damage model for fiber-reinforced materials, surface-based cohesive behavior or cohesive behavior in enriched elements.

This option is used to specify viscosity coefficients used in the viscous regularization scheme for the damage model for fiber-reinforced materials, surface-based traction-separation behavior in contact or cohesive behavior in enriched elements. For fiber-reinforced materials, you can use this option in conjunction with the DAMAGE INITIATION, CRITERION=HASHIN and DAMAGE EVOLUTION options; for surface-based traction-separation behavior, you can use this option in conjunction with the DAMAGE INITIATION, CRITERION=MAXS, MAXE, QUADS, or QUADE and DAMAGE EVOLUTION options.
