Introduce damping in springs between structural lines

Hello

Springs between the nodes of two structural lines can be created in an attached SOFiMSHA run with a short code snipped.

spri mesh 1 2 nare 3 nere 4 CP 2000 ct 2000 dp 100
end

This code creates springs between the node sequences (node 1 and node 2) and the sequence of nodes 3 to 4. The node sequence is created from a structural line in SOFiMSHC.

Keep in mind that a damping element is only effective within a dynamic analysis (SOFiMSHA manual chapter 3.20.3 Damper).
