chrono::fea::ChContactSurface Class Reference

Description

Base class for contact surfaces in FEA meshes.

Use children classes like ChContactSurfaceNodeCloud or ChContactSurfaceMesh that implement practical functionalities. The contact surface has a material of ChMaterialSurface type (non-smooth contact material by default, but it can be also switched to a smooth (penalty) contact material, using Set).
