Contact

Contact(
    points: list[Point],
    frame: Frame | None = None,
    size: float | None = None,
    mesh: Mesh | None = None,
    holes: list[Polygon] | None = None,
    name: str | None = None,
)

Class representing a planar contact between two elements.

Parameters:

• points (list[Point]) –

  The points defining the contact polygon.

• frame (Frame, default: None ) –

  The local coordinate system of the contact.

• size (float, default: None ) –

  The total area of the contact polygon.

• mesh (Mesh, default: None ) –

  The mesh representation of the contact surface.

• holes (list[Polygon], default: None ) –

  Holes in the contact polygon.

• name (str, default: None ) –

  A human-readable name.

Attributes:

• frame (Frame) –

  The local coordinate frame of the interface polygon.

• brep (Brep) –

  A BRep representation of the interface.

• mesh (Mesh) –

  A mesh representation of the interface.

• points (list[Point]) –

  The corner points of the interface polygon.

• polygon (Polygon) –

  The interface polygon.

• size (float) –

  The area of the interface polygon.
