This ContactForceGenerator handles contact between non-conforming objects that meet at a point and generate an elliptical contact patch; those generate an EllipticalPointContact tracking object. More...

This ContactForceGenerator handles contact between non-conforming objects that meet at a point and generate an elliptical contact patch; those generate an EllipticalPointContact tracking object.
For objects that are known to produce circular contact, use the specialized HertzCircular generator instead.

The CompliantContactSubsystem will invoke this method on any active contact pair of the right Contact type for which there is overlapping undeformed geometry.
The force generator is expected to calculate a point in space where equal and opposite contact forces should be applied to the two contacting rigid bodies, the potential energy currently stored in this contact, and the power (energy dissipation rate). State should be used for instance info only; use position information from overlapping and velocity information from the supplied arguments. That allows this method to be used as an operator, for example to calculate potential energy when velocities are not yet available.
Implements SimTK::ContactForceGenerator.

Don't use the state for position or velocity information; the only allowed positions are in the Contact object and the velocities are supplied explicitly.
