3. Scaling factor, , for the hourglass stiffness for use with the out-of-plane displacement degree
of freedom in small-strain shell elements in ABAQUS/Explicit. If this value is left blank,
ABAQUS/Explicit will use the default value of 1.0. The suggested range for the value of
is between 0.2 and 3.0. This scaling factor is not relevant for ABAQUS/Standard.
4. Scaling factor for the linear bulk viscosity in ABAQUS/Explicit. If this value is left blank,
ABAQUS/Explicit will use the default value of 1.0. The suggested range for the value is
between 0.0 and 1.0. This scaling factor is not relevant for ABAQUS/Standard.
5. Scaling factor for the quadratic bulk viscosity in ABAQUS/Explicit. If this value is left blank,
ABAQUS/Explicit will use the default value of 1.0. The suggested range for the value is
between 0.0 and 1.0. This scaling factor is not relevant for ABAQUS/Standard.
