"throw" means "throw", and implies it has to be implemented in derived 
class.
It IS implemented actually, in the class I was testing, I forgot 
somebody else would use this code for facets too.
Is it really the case by the way? Who is using 
Law2_ScGeom_FrictPhys_Basic with facets? Is it only working (I remember 
it doesn't work for triaxial tests)?

I wrote cross product?! Sorry, I meant dot product : u.f=work, there is 
no norm().
