This allows simulating complex contac t scenarios involving rigid bodies with stacking and friction, and articul ated joint constraints.\n\nInterest Area: Research & Education\n\nRecordin g: Livestreamed, Not Livestreamed, Recorded, Not Recorded\n\nRegistration Category: Full Conference, Virtual Access, Tuesday\n\nSession Chair: Teseo Schneider (University of Victoria)\n\n END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
