Contact Connection

Description

Two-dimensional contact with friction connection between four accesses. Similar to a bowed connection but more general.

THIS CONNECTION SEEMS TO BE DEFUNCT - PERHAPS IT WAS ADDED ONLY FOR TESTING / EXPERIMENTATION?

The 'contact connection takes eight arguments:

bow_acc_V: vertical access on object used as a bow.
bow_acc_H: horizontal access on object used as a bow.
bow-posV: initial vertical position of the bowing object's access. (numerical value, not a controller)
str_acc_V: vertical access on object to be bowed.
str_acc_H: horizontal access on object to be bowed.
str-posV: initial vertical position of the plucked object's access. (numerical value, not a controller)
friction_controller: controller for the friction of the interaction at the contact point.
weight: (optional) controller weighing the interaction.

The two initial vertical positions must be numerical values, not controllers. The weight controller is optional. If not provided, it defaults to 1.

This is a more general bow-like connection for two bi-directional objects.

There are no special options for the 'contact connection
