Damping in planar support THA

Hi,

 

I have made a simple volumetric structure foundation (2x1x0,5h). Model has one nodal load 50 kN. I am using Time History analysis and sin(360*10*t) function definition. I have supported with planar support and used   elastic spring and damping parameters. Problem is that calculation does not include damping. I tried previously with simply supported beam (frame 3D design) THA and nodal loads and there damping worked. I attached my model.

 

Thank You,

Rauno

Why do you say that the calculation does not include the damping?

 

In my opinion, the displacements that you get from Time history analysis take into account the damping coefficient  of supports.
