Applying non-omnidirectional friction to an object

[Maddy S]

Hello all! 

First, please bear with me here, as I am relatively new to PyChrono. I appreciate any/all feedback or tips! 

I have applied a coefficient of friction to a body (ChBodyAuxRef) imported from SolidWorks via the "mat.SetFriction(fric_coefficient)" command for a NSC material. This material then appears in my collision model for the body. 

My question is: is it possible to have this friction coefficient only act in one direction?

Basically, I am trying to model an extremely frictional material which only adheres to a surface when a shear load is applied in one specific direction. So, I need the friction coefficient to very high in one direction only. As I understand it now, the command mat.SetFriction() sets an omnidirectional coefficient of friction to the surface. 

Any ideas on if this is even doable? 

Thanks so much, 

Maddy
