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
