This command is used to construct a 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 calibrated from experimental data
$alpha pressure parameter calibrated from experimental data
$transRate transition rate from low to high velocity


EXAMPLES:

frictionModel VPDependent 1 0.085 0.163 7.0686 0.05 0.08 0.77
