Hello,
I'm looking at ContactGeometrySets. I don't know the difference between ContactHalfSpace and ContactSphere and how they work. Would someone be able to explain the difference between the two?

Re: ContactSphere vs ContactHalfSpace
Here are the relevant entries in the OpenSim API documentation (note the descriptions at the top of these pages):
- ContactHalfSpace: https://simtk.org/api_docs/opensim/api_ ... Space.html
- ContactSphere: https://simtk.org/api_docs/opensim/api_ ... phere.html
The former can be used to model a floor; the latter, a ball or spherical foot. Both are used in the "Dynamic Walking Challenge: Go the Distance!" example (http://simtk-confluence.stanford.edu:80 ... Id=5113821).
