Contact class.
Contacts may exist between two IPiece objects (e.g. between two balls or between a ball and a wall). They are formed and broken automatically during the course of a simulation.
The behavior of a material is simulated by associating a constitutive model with each contact.
|
pure virtual |
Returns TRUE to indicate that it is OK to delete the contact It is expected that CELL SPACE checking occurs here! Note: Criteria should match that used by contact detection, or you can create a situation where contacts are detroyed/created constantly.
|
pure virtual |
Return a pointer to the parent contact, i.e. the contact that this one has been slaved to upon creation and destruction.
