[Question #226978]: Contact force direction convention

 

New question #226978 on Yade:
https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/226978

Hi all, 

I'm wondering for I while about the contact normalForce and shearForce convention used in Yade. I mean, into an interaction i=O.interactions[A,B] with A<B if I do :
i.phys.normalForce
i.phys.shearForce
will it always be the force applied by A on B, and never the force applied by B on A ?
This would avoid checking the forces direction at many times.

Thanks
