Step 

Description 

• Create a physical geometry (native geometries : boxes, spheres ...),
• Show the Modify panel then select the Devices sub-panel.

 

 

• Click on Choose Device icon to open the list of plugins that may be attached to this geometry,
• Choose Contact.

Mount As: represents the name of the device in the simulation.



 

 

Double-click on the sensor's reference in order to display/change its settings:

Contact front duration: when a contact occurs, the contact flag is set to 'true' during the contact duration time.

Enable force sensor: Enable/Disable the forces sensor management for each 6 half-axis.

Enable collect contact points: Allow/Disallow the parent geometry to collect contact points. Enable this feature in order to use the DeviceContact::GetContactPoints function. 

 

In MODA programming, contact sensors are accessible via the DeviceContact class. The sensor's full path, starting at PHX "/" is box0/contact.
