This command is used to construct a VelPressureDep friction model object.

frictionModel VelPressureDep $frnTag $muSlow $muFast0 $A $deltaMu $alpha $transRate

---

$frnTag	unique friction model object tag
$muSlow	coefficient of friction at low velocity
$muFast0	initial coefficient of friction at high velocity
$A	nominal contact area
$deltaMu	pressure parameter calibrated from experimental data
$alpha	pressure parameter calibrated from experimental data
$transRate	transition rate from low to high velocity
