Hi all,

quick question about contact damping (hence defined at the level of the
contact law). I think the use of contact damping should potentially be a
possibility for every contact law. So if the law functor operates on ScGeom
functor, what would you suggest to do if not copying into the contact law
the whole code which aims to update the shear force? Basically all it is
needed for the contact damping are shear and normal velocities at contact
but they are computed every time step in ScGeom.. Could we make those values
available in the contact law once requested?

cheers, Chiara
