Depends on how you have the data. If you just have Damping value then you can use the GE field.
The B field can be used when you have the data in terms of N.s/mm or some equivalent unit system. This data is usually provided specification for rotating equipement or parts.
Damping force is directly proportional to the velocity.
Fd = b. v
The proportionality term which links these 2 terms (Damping force and velocity) is damping co-efficient -->b (which is a property just like Stiffness or Young’s modulus for instance).
The damping co-efficient becomes equal to the damping force for unit velocity. Thus, Bi->Nominal damping coefficients in direction 1 through 6 has to be in units of force per unit velocity.
Units for damping co-efficient used can be something like N.s/mm which becomes force per unit velocity. Hope this helps.
