Contact between two objects

[Yaqing Wang]

Hi,

I wonder if Chrono has a function to let me get the contact information of two specific objects. Like there are three objects A, B, and C, and they contact each other. I want to know the contact force, position, and normal direction to the contact surface of the collision between A and B only. If more, relative velocity and friction.

I am using "ChBody->GetContactForce()" but it seems to give the sum of all contact forces.

Thanks,

You can use callback mechanisms to intercept this type of information and process it however you want.  Look at demo_MBS_callbackSMC and demo_MBS_callbackNSC. Note that, depending on the contact formulation, some information may not be available.
