Sphere To Cylinder

 

A Sphere To Cylinder Contact generates a force between a sphere and a cylinder.

 

     The sphere and cylinder must belong to two different bodies.

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

     The sphere must be out of the cylinder.

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