A CamLine2D Contact generates a force between a line with two points and a curve. This contact is smooth line to curve contact in 2D. The base curve has a RM and many points. The action line has a RM and its radius. The base curve is parameterized from many points and creates a contact curve fitted on a cubic spline or a fifth order polynomial.
•The line and the curve must belong to two different bodies.
•The base curve should be a close curve as like as cam geometry.
•This contact point is only one point where a contact penetration is the deepest.
•The contact force can be not only linear or exponential but also nonlinear spline characteristics to the contact penetration and its velocity.
The base curve is a curve fitted to passing points as shown in Figure 1.
