- gp() gpptr.
 Get the vertex for a vertex-face subcontact.
- group([slot: str or int]) str.
 Get the subcontact group name in a given slot.
- group_remove(group_name: str or int[, slot: str or int]) bool.
 Remove from the given group from all group slots of the subcontact. One argument of type string, giving the group name, is required. The return value is a bool which is True if the group was removed from any slot, otherwise False.
- groups() {slot: group_name}.
 Get a dictionary describing which groups this subcontact is part of. The keys of the dictionary are the slot names and the values are the group names.
- id() int.
 Get the subcontact id.
- in_group(group_name: str or int[, slot: str or int]) bool.
 Test if the subcontact is part of a given group. If the optional argument slot is given, only that slot is searched. Otherwise, all group slots are searched.
- index() int.
 Get the index (offset) for the subcontact.
- is_excavated() bool.
 Get the excavation status of the subcontact.
Get the hidden indicator for the subcontact.
- model() str.
 Get the assign joint constitutive model at a subcontact.

 Get the subcontact subcontact position (vector).
- pos_x() float.
 Get the x-component of the subcontact subcontact position.
- pos_y() float.
 Get the y-component of the subcontact subcontact position.
- pos_z() float.
 Get the z-component of the subcontact subcontact position.
- pp() float.
 Get the subcontact pore pressure force.

 Get the assigned property values of subcontact models.
- set_disp_norm() float.
 Set the normal displacement of a subcontact.
- set_extra(slot: int, value: any) None.
 Set the subcontact extra data in the given slot.
- set_force_norm() float.
 Set the normal force at a subcontact.
- set_group(group_name: str or int[, slot: str or int]) None.

 Get the subcontact state indicator.
- stress_norm() float.
 Get the normal stress at the subcontact.
- stress_shear() float.
 Get the shear stress magnitude.
- type() int.
