Geo Circle

 

A Geo Circle Contact is a semi-primitive contact which can analyze the 2D curve contact between curve geometry and circle. The curve geometry can be a rigid body or a flexible body and it can have any kind of shapes but circle should be rigid body. This is a derived concept for Geo Curve contact and it is possible to switch to Geo Curve contact. Geo circle contact analyzes the all possible contact points and output the all useful contact information such as the contact point, contact force, contact direction, and penetration.
