Contact Forces

I'm currently working on a project that's requiring contact forces. When I looked up contact forces on OpenSim's website, I noticed that there's contact planes and contact spheres. Is it possible to obtain contact forces in other shapes such as a cylinder?

Your only other option is arbitrary meshes (ContactMesh), which works with the ElasticFoundationForce (rather than the HuntCrossleyForce).

Are there any resources from Opensim on how to write an arbitrary mesh?
