Simple iterative algorithm for contact force computation

Mihai Preda, Razvan V. Florian

 

Abstract

We describe a simple iterative algorithm for contact force computation, similar to the Gauss-Seidel method for solving linear systems. Since this method can be implemented in a few lines of code, it should be recognized as the first option when implementing contact force computation.
