Detailed Description

This subclass of Contact represents a pair of contact surfaces that were in contact (meaning within cutoff range) but have now gone out of range.

This is the last time we will use this ContactId. The only parameters here are the surfaces and the separation distance (> cutoff). If someone cares, the separation distance can be used to estimate the time at which contact was broken.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

SimTK::BrokenContact::BrokenContact ( ContactSurfaceIndex  surf1,
ContactSurfaceIndex  surf2,
const Transform X_S1S2,
Real  separation 
)

Create a BrokenContact object.

Parameters
surf1The index of the first surface involved in the contact.
surf2The index of the second surface involved in the contact.
X_S1S2The surface-to-surface relative transform.
separationThe minimum distance between the surfaces, with separation > cutoff >= 0 always.

Member Function Documentation

Real SimTK::BrokenContact::getSeparation ( ) const

Get the separation (> cutoff >= 0) between the two surfaces at the time we decided the contact had been broken.

Note that the sign convention is opposite from depth which is negative when separated.

static bool SimTK::BrokenContact::isInstance ( const Contact contact)
static

Determine whether a Contact object is a BrokenContact.

static ContactTypeId SimTK::BrokenContact::classTypeId ( )
static

Obtain the unique small-integer id for the BrokenContact class.
