Václav Šmilauer proposed the following answer:
Hi Sina, if you need to study dynamic behavior, do not EVER use the non-
viscous (a.k.a. Cundall numerical) damping - it is nonphysical (not even
invariant to coordinate rotation) and a purely numerical tool to reach
quasi-static equilibrium without really caring how you get there. That
said, it is quite possible that contact damping will do the same job for
you, if you need quasi-static; the area seems to be quite murky, so you
might need to try both and compare the results - they might end up being
very similar. Cheers, v.
