Is it possible to make the contact stiffness b/w flex-flex bodies a function of state variable say instantaneous penetration depth or angular position of some body?
The stiffness field requires a real value to be entered and I am able to make it a function of time, but is it possible to make it as a function of another state variable?
The most elegant solution will be the mentioned CNF/CFFSUB.
If you manage to use an SFORCE/VFORCE/GFORCE instead, then you may have use for the attached test-model.
It's playing with some expressions in state variables to model a contact (VAR_Impact) with using a variable stiffness depending on penetration (VAR_Stiffness).
VARVAL(VAR_Impact) could be used in any force expression.
