Re: [Question #298001]: Input Kn and Ks directly

Jérôme Duriez proposed the following answer:
Hello,

No, Ip2_FrictMat_FrictMat_MindlinPhys(kn=myValueKn, ks=myValueKs) would not work since Ip2_FrictMat_FrictMat_MindlinPhys does not have such attributes "kn" and "ks", see the doc [1].
In fact, I think none of the IPhysFunctor (see the complete list in [2]) proposes such attributes.

What is possible though, is to access directly the kn and ks of interactions, and modify them as you wish
for cont in O.interactions:
   cont.phys.kn = myValueKn # see corresponding attribute [3]
   cont.phys.ks = myValueKs # see [4]

With such method however, future contacts will have properties defined
by their materials and the chosen Ip2, and thus most probably distinct
from myValueKn / myValueKs.

Maybe you could find a workaround using "MatchMaker" (search for it
through the doc and previous questions, I am personally not used to it)

Jerome
