Cylinder To Cylinder

 

A Cylinder To Cylinder Contact generates a force between two cylinders.

 

     The cylinder and cylinder must belong to two different bodies.

     The cylinder must be defined an action geometry and the cylinder must be defined a base geometry.

     The action cylinder must be outside of the base cylinder.

     The contact force can be generated with not only linear or exponential but also nonlinear spline characteristics to the contact penetration and its velocity.
