This document summarizes design methods for damping augmentation and integrating damping models into global simulations. It discusses how insufficient elastic coupling is often the main reason damping design fails. It advocates analyzing flexibility, contact, and sliding in junctions to ensure sufficient coupling. Sample mechanisms are presented that can be optimized with parameters. Integration of damping models into reduction tools, transient and frequency solvers, and post-processing tools is covered. The importance of understanding trends through analysis tools is also highlighted.
