How to get forces applied on a chainedCylinder by surrounding spheres

Asked by ceguo

Hi,

I want to use sphere-chainedCylinder contact and want to get forces applied on the chainedCylinder by contacting spheres. Also can I move the chainedCylinder by prescribing the displacements of its two ends?

Your first question is "how can I get the forces applied on B by bodies of type T?" There is nothing specificaly related to cylinders. If you rephrase it that way, then it suggests this kind of algorithm:

for contacts on B:
         if (b1 or b2 is of type T) F=F+contact.F

For your second question: better try it and come to us if it doesn't do what you want.

Can you help with this problem?
