Definition/description of "Contact damping"

Hi,

Can anyone describe what is the definition of "Contact damping" used in the materials physics simulation in RobotStudio? I when through the documentation, but I was not able to find any information regarding this parameter.

Thank you and best regards,
Hugo Costelha
