After reading some code, it looks like the Minkowski Portal Refinement method is only used for the ellipsoid/ellipsoid and ellipsoid/sphere cases in the old GeneralContactSubsystem. For the new ContactTrackerSubsystem and other cases of old GeneralContactSubsystem, the contact is determined by check...

When the two balls are at the same position, the smaller ball is contained by the bigger ball. And the contact number is 0. I am confused. Is M...
