I want to model bingham plastic MR Damper using SAP2000. I have no such idea how to create it. I have tried to model it but could not succeed. Can anybody help in this regard. See the attachments for element specifications and physical modeling
The most reliable method to model a damper is using a non lineal analysis defining the damper as a link element, but you must define either the hysteretic model which represent the real behavior (approach) of the damper or define the complete loop which represent it.
