Hi,

just a confirmation about the way we could compute the contact shear force
using the total shear displacement. For example, in
Law2_ScGeom_FrictPhys_Basic if we set useShear to True we use the total
shear displacement formulation. Then, if we slide, we reduce both total
shear displacement and shear force. This is correct, right? So if I wanted
to know how much is the total shear displacement (elastic+plastic), I guess
I should add a new variable which instead would not be updated. Is it?

Thanks for confirmation.

Chiara
