range
token is mandatory and must be specified last.By default, only mechanical contacts are considered. If sprocess is specified, then it must correspond to a process name and contacts within this process are considered.
The information in the entry is specified with the following keywords.
- method sm <sa a> ...
The contact model method sm, along with its specific list of argument names and values, is registered with this CMAT entry and will be invoked at contact creation.
The list of available methods is contact model specific. Visit the documentation of the desired contact model for details.
