Location, number, and damping coefficient during each step of the iteration (simplified model).
| Iteration number | Arrangement zone | Damper number at each outrigger | Damping coefficient in the simplified model (kN/(mm/s)0.3) | Damping coefficient in the prototype model (kN/(mm/s)0.3) | Vertex peak acceleration (m/s2) |
| 0 | | | | | 0.360 |
| 1 | 4 | 1 | 462 | 700 | 0.349 |
| 2 | 4 | 2 | 462 | 700 | 0.292 |
| 3 | 4 | 2 | 462 | 700 | 0.264 | 6 | 1 | 462 | 700 |
| 4 | 4 | 2 | 462 | 700 | 0.245 | 6 | 2 | 462 | 700 |
| 5 | 4 | 2 | 453 | 686 | 0.247 | 6 | 2 | 453 | 686 |
