This command is used to construct an VPDependent friction model object.

frictionModel VPDependent $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
$alpha pressure parameter
$transRate transition rate from low to high velocity


EXAMPLES:

frictionModel VPDependent 1 1 2 20.0 2.50 0.02 -P 1 -Mz 2;
