Modelling a box with friction to the "ground"
Posted: Wed Sep 22, 2021 6:36 am
Hello forum,
coming from robotics and using gazebo/ros, I have the following question.
I want to model a person in a (rowing)boat. This to learn about forces in rowing using different riggings.
To keep things realistic I want to model the boat simply as a box that rests on the ground and has some friction.
Also the blade is a box that can be put on the ground and should have a large friction.
The rower sits on a box that can slide on the boat.
In ros/gazebo this works remarkably well.
But how can I create a box which such properties. There is ContactSphere, but no "ContactBox" I can find.
How could I solve this in Opensim?
Thanks in advance,
Sietse
